midwest royale
Good Afternoon from England
Yours looks a very interesting set. Only a few weeks ago I bought a Midwest Royale 24 tube console radio here in England. Given its year - 1935 - it performs very well indeed. In fact, feeding a modern signal through the pickup socket gives a remarkable quality of sound. I still can't find out whether this set was actually exported to the UK or whether this one found its way here with one of its owners. On the one hand the mains transformer is wound for our UK voltage (240), but the chassis plate indicates that it needs 110V. Either the transformer was rewound at some stage, or they just didn't bother to change the plate. I'd be interested to hear from anyone else with experience of this set.
Lastly, Is that some kind of automatic tuning on the back of the tuning condensor on your set?
regards, Jonathan
