- Notes
-
The Pilot model 423 is an AC/DC operated 6 tube BC and SW band receiver. Uses ballast tube 81963.
The Stein book "Cathedral & Tombstone Radios" reference lists this model as having 2 bands, however the Riders schematic indicates that this model has the BC band and 2 SW bands. The Riders schematic can be confusing as it is applicable for models 423 and 425. Both models have 3 bands, however model 423 has the BC band and 2 SW bands, while model 425 has the BC band, the LW band and just 1 SW band.
