  • Notes
  • The Packard Bell 48FC is an 8-tube console in a wooden cabinet that is finished primarily with faux leather covering, and also has areas of photofinish and finished wood.  Its 8-tube chassis receives 2 bands, and is paired to a rotating loop antenna controlled by a knob on the side of the cabinet, and an electrodynamic 12-inch speaker.  Its chassis layout is identical to the Packard Bell 48FPA, so it is likely the same schematic applies.
