  • Tasma proudly announces a new edition of the famous Tasma "Baby." Improved in design and with many brilliant new features, the new "Baby" is housed in a sturdy ¼-inch Bakelite cabinet with particularly fine acoustic properties.

    This easily portable little set is available in four different models, for broadcast or dual-wave reception, and for use with direct and alternating current, or batteries. The Tasma "Baby" will astound you with its full-console performance.

    Extended tuning range, automatic Volume Control, perfected Air Trimmers, a unique wooden baffle, and full console-size dial, make the latest "Baby" one of the greatest radio achievements of the year.
