1934 Try-Mo Scout Shortwave Receiver

1934MaySWcraftScoutThe May 1934 issue of Short Wave Craft magazine included this ad for the “Scout,” a one tube shortwave set from the Try-Mo Radio Co., Inc., of 85 Cortlandt Street, New York.  The set sold in kit form for only $3.95, but the type 230 tube, batteries, and headphones would run an additional $4.25.  The set came with plug-in coils for shortwave, but a coil for the standard broadcast band would cost an additional 39 cents, probably a good investment in case the short waves were quiet.
