Yes, the dial has the second metered strip. I always saw that as a way to make a basic one band dial seem like it has an extra band.
*also, init4fun - Yes, hooking up the batteries is really easy. Some put a small battery eliminator in them, but then you have the cord sticking out of the enclosed rear cover, and you get the AC-line noise. On batteries these sound wonderful. Once you get one, you soon have several more. They're cheap and have a lot of charm. I'm up to 15! All '38-'41 models.
PS - I didn't catch why model number 420 is particularly appealing! (?)  |
Hi Joe , the number 420 has come to be very popular slang for smoking pot (marijuana) , and indeed typing just the number 420 into google returns all kinds of "urban legend" history on how that number came to represent it . From what I've read the number 420 doesn't refer to the weed itself , it seems to mean the act of smoking it , as the urban legend goes 4:20 PM was deemed by a bunch of people who smoke it as a great time to smoke some .
Now , aren't ya glad ya asked ?
