  • Notes
  • According to several literature sources it employs chassis of Radiola 18. Only the "Red Book" and the "Radio Set Socket Layout Guide" show a different tube linup as listed now. The Victor 9-16 replaces the 71 tube ba a 50, and the 80 by two 81's. Whether this is still a Radiola 18 chassis is not clear. See it play in this YouTube video from "Symphonicprelude".
