  • Notes
  • Models 212 and 212A were radio-phonographs using chassis similar to radio-only models 112 and 112A and likewise had an early version using two 45 output tubes and a late version with two 47 tubes. Model 212 is for 115 VAC 50-60 Hz, and model 212A is for 25-60 Hz. The console cabinet, like those for 112, were designed by Norman Bel Geddes. The automatic record changer was supplied by Capehart.

    According to Ramirez the 212A is the Canadian version of the US 212. But there are models from Canada without suffix A.
