This ad for a 5-tube supereheterodyne broadcast radio appeared 75 years ago today in the November 16, 1941, issue of the Pittsburgh Press.

The set sold for $14.95 (complete, no extras), or could be bought on time for a quarter down and fifty cents a week.

The set appears to be model 330, which can be seen at the Radio Attic Archives.  It was a standard “All American Five,” with a tube lineup of 12SA7GT, 12SK7GT, 12SQ7GT, 50L6GT, and 35Z5GT. A schematic and more photos are available at the Radio Museum.  While the set’s tuning range didn’t extend much above the broadcast band, it was billed as easily receiving police calls, as well as distant stations.
