The Stewart Warner model 51 is an 11-tube, 4-band receiver. It is housed in an unusual and handsome wooden, 5-legged lowboy cabinet with two electrodynamic speakers. On the shortwave bands, it operates as a dual-conversion receiver. The knobs are solid brass. The dial face shifts up and down when the band switch is changed, so that only the frequencies of the currently-selected band are visible in the escutcheon window. Made in the USA.
This radio receives 4 bands including BC 540-1550 kHz, SW1 180-80 meters (1.67-3.75 MHz), SW2 80-33 meters (3.75-9 MHz), and SW3 33-14 meters (9-21 MHz).
The two speakers are not identical. The "Low" speaker is model RL-209-A, and the "High" speaker is model RH-209-A. Some versions of the R-105A chassis have a 5th position on the band switch to select a phonograph input.
