• Notes

• This radio consists of a floor or table/shelf unit containing the speaker, power supply, and audio output tube and a remote control unit on the end of an approximately 18' long cable. Neither part is usable independently. The remote control unit contains four tubes. Page 564 of the March, 1934 issue of Radio News mentions that this model has recently been announced (along with the fancier Model S-10), so it definitely is a 1934 model.
