  • Notes
  • The Lyt-o-fon (Lytofon) has one variable capacitor and one variable coil. The variable coil is of the variometer type and the outer coil has 5 or 6 taps going to the rotary switch in the middle. There is also a small iron core transformer for AF. The radio model Lyt-o-Fon was built by Lytofon in Danmark. It shows two plates for the tubes MR605 and MR615.

    The cone speaker is built like an old needle pick-up with inverted function. No volume control, but a kind of mecanical adjustment on the back of the speaker "pick-up".

    DC mains voltage was common in some cities in Sweden - in the early days of electricity.
