DeForest Crosley 6D632 "Electra" 1937 Deforest Crosley

The "Electra"
was Deforest Crosley's top of the line table model set for 1937 and
shares the same chassis, type 6D632, as the DeForest Crosley "Mars"
console. This radio was actually manufactured by Rogers
Majestic Limited of Toronto and shares the same chassis as the
Rogers model "11-60, 11-65, 11-66, (type 6R632 chassis),
11-68, 11-69, (type 6R631 chassis)" and the Majestic "Rodney,
Renown, and Hood". Tuning on this radio is aided by a special
light bulb mounted in the center of the tuning needle stay lit but
would dim as soon as a station is tuned in. I purchased this
radio, on ebay in April of 2004, from from a collector in
Canada. |

The Electra sports a backlit celluloid dial. When the
radio is switched to the broadcast band, only the broadcast band on
the dial lights up while the two short-wave bands remain dark.
When the radio is switched to either of the short-wave bands, both
short-wave bands are lit up and the either the "Police" or the
"Short" indicators, located at the bottom of the dial, will lit up
according to which of the two short-wave bands the Electra is
switched to. |

These four metal
spray Rogers tubes are from the Electra. The 6K7M, and the
6F6M tubes are the same as the American counterparts but the 75M /
6B6M is the equivalent to the American 6Q7 tube and the 6A7M (second
tube from the left) is the equivelant to the American 6A8
tube. |
