Arvin Model 302 Radio-Phono

1940JanRadioRetailingIf you needed an inexpensive radio-phonograph 80 years ago, then the Arvin model 302 (brown with ivory trim) or 302A (ivory with chrome trim) was just the thing.  The four-tube (12SK7, 12SQ7, 50L6GT, and 35Z5GT) superhet would pull in the local stations, and the would also play either 10″ or 12″ records.

For full portability, a carrying case was available for only $2.95 extra.

The ad, which also shows a car radio, table radio, and portable, appeared in the January 1940 issue of Radio Retailing.
