This 1928 Leutz Screen Grid Transoceanic was an upgrade of the 1927 Transoceanic with the significant difference being that the newer UX-222 screen grid tubes were incorporated in the RF sections, replacing the lower gain UX-201A tubes that the 1927 Transoceanic used. This receiver was originally part of the Dick Bury collection which was sold off by Estes Auctions back in September 2007.

  This is what the the inside of the B+ power supply looks like. The multi tap resistor is not original and since I took this photo, I have rebuilt the power supply to original factory specs and design. At some point I'll replace this photo with a photo of the restored power supply.

    The Leutz A current supply is actually a rebranded "Silver Beauty" A power supply which was manufactured by the Triple-A-Specialty Company, 312-316 South Hamilton Ave., Chicago, Illinois.

    This is a catalog photo of the Leutz factory building as it looked during the time the "Transoceanic" Phantom was being produced. The building has gone through extensive remodeling, over the years, and today it houses the Baccalaureate School for Global Education. It's current address is 34-12 36th Ave, Astoria, NY 11106.
