• The Airline 15HA-1554A is an AC/DC operated 5 tube BC band receiver.  Has white plastic finish. Same model with brown finish: Model Airline 15HA-1553A.

  This model was built for Montgomery Ward by the Hallicrafters Corp, Chicago, ILL.

  NOTE: Starting in 1939, Montgomery Ward began adding the production series in the model number, with the letter "A" in the model number indicating the first production series.  Other service documentation (such as Riders) did not consistantly use the "A" in the model number when referring to the first production series models. However models without the "A" at the end of the model number are the same as the models with the "A".
