This
radio was originally sold in kit form (knockdown) and required no
soldering in it's construction. All of the components feature clip
connectors for easy wiring into the circuit. There are no
filiment controls, only a single fixed resistor incorporated in the
filiment line so that all of the tubes would continuously run on five
volts when the set was hooked up to a six volt filliment supply.
Volume is regulated by the regeneration contril located to the left of
the tuning dial. A tap switch, located directly below the tuning
dial, is used for adjusting the tunung circuit for sensitivity and
selectivity which varys greatly when tuning in strong local stations or
weak distant stations. The 1926 model, shown above, is the latest
version of a line of sets that had been offered by the company since
1924. This set, and the previous year models shown below, are all
based on a standard design that the company improved upon each
year. I acquired this Elgin, in November of 2005, from fellow
collector Ed Bell after his ebay auction for this set didn't meet it's
reserve.
