Five-valve, three circuit DC receiver.
Single-knob tuning and built-in
Philips loudspeaker.
Otto van Tussenbroek
The high profile cabinet with rounded
corners, designed by Otto
van Tussenbroek (1882-1957), is made of
veneered oak.
In the Erres brochure and
the articles about the radio in the
newspapers, it is stated that the
cabinet is made of polished walnut.
The radio has no back
panel but only two black triangular
metal corner reinforcements at the top.
The knobs from left to
right: on/of/tone control, tuning,
volume/wavelength switch. The dial (scale
0-100, with the wavelengths of long and
medium wave in meters) is illuminated by
the Philips scale lamp 8046 (6 V, 0.5
A).
At the rear, the antenna
and the earth connection, a gramophone
connection and a connection for an
additional loudspeaker.
The condenser housing has
a faded, illegible stamp. One of the
capacitor blocks has a date stamp with
the date January 18, 1933.
It was made by
Van der Heem & Bloemsma in The Hague.
