    Electrical S-P-R-E-A-D Band Tuning!

    With a total of nine bands, covering standard broadcast, amateurs, & shortwaves, Philco 788 gives FULL coverage over the whole world. In addition, the crowded 13 to 31 metre bands are split into 5 spread bands, with electrical tuning, which gives electrical separation, enabling the required station to be tunes-in easily, clearly, & WITHOUT INTERFERENCE.
