  • Notes

  • The Sentinel chassis 206-A have the same schematic but different cabinets. Assumptions for the suffixes: 206-A (not sure if this is only the chassis name, no cabinet, A probably for AC), 206-AT (T for table) and 206-ACT (C = console, T = tall) and 206-AE (E for magic eye).

    Tuning is broadcast 540 to 1730 kHz and short waves 5.7 to 18.3 MHz, automatic volume control (AVC). 3.5 Watt power output. The same line exists as 204-A chassis with the same cabinets (and more) but the chassis provides broadcast only  - see for instance 204-AE.
    * Models can have a different power transformer:  11272 (39) for 115 volts 50 cycles, 11273 (40) 115 volts 25 cycles, 11719 (41) 110 - 230 volts, 50 cycles or 11721 (42) for 220 volts, 50 cycles. Models -CB are "combinations" with phonograph. See 204ATE-CB, 204ACE-CB (and 198ACE-CB).
