It was just as good as a AA5 Superhetrodyne radio, considering that it used the same front end & I.F stages that a AA5 uses. the power was supplied by the sets power supply so there was no need for a rectifier tube. also, the outpit from the radio's IF was fed to the TV's audio stage.
the radio used 6BA6 & 6BE6
