  • Notes
  • Model 501X is a radio-phonograph with a record changer in a floor-type console cabinet using the 11-tube all-wave model 16 radio chassis. The early version (1934) has the early version of the model 16 chassis with 5 bands, and the late version (1934-35) has the late version of the model 16 chassis with four bands.

    Model 500X is similar to model 501X, but has a single-play phonograph instead of a record changer.

    All versions include a shadow meter (tuning aid).
