• Notes

• The Clarion models AC-51 Lowboy, AC-53 Highboy and AC-55 Combination made by Transformer Corp. of America (TCA) are sharing the same schematic. Allo have also been exported - for instance to Switzerland (since Thali printed the schematic there) and Italy (distributed by Brunet S.A. and Alcis with different case). There is probably also a version for AC with 25 cycles because Thali mentioned models 25-51, 25-53 and 25-55 for the year 1930.
