  Order number 57LM 1576 1/4 with tubes and batteries for $ 52 or for easy payment: $ 6 "down" cash and $ 6 per month until paid $ 57.25. See details and summaries about Sears catalogs etc. The models 1571 (not to be confused with a later model 1571) and 1575 share the same chassis and schematic, but we think that alos this model has this chassis. The tubes are taken from there.
  Stein mentiones only two bands!
