What was broadcast in 1925?
Listen to "All
Aboard for Heaven (All Aboard for
Home Sweet Home)"
by Meyer Davis' Le Paradis Band, sung by W. Spencer Tupman,
recorded March 26, 1925
Top view. Tubes: UX171, CeCo Type A, UX201A, 401A, CeCo Type A. The
radio probably owes its name to the W-shaped line-up of
the tubes and the knobs on the front panel. The UX171,
first made in 1926, must be a later addition. This tube
gives more amplification then a standard 01 tube. The
CeCo Type A is identical to a 01 tube.

missing.

A fitting driver was found: a
Western Electric 523W.
Control label and type plate. The radio was last
repaired on May 3rd, 1929.
This is proof that the
radio was probably made by Wilcox Laboratories: the type
plate of the Lansing W (above) is almost identical to
that of a Cathedral Junior. (Picture by Radiola Guy)
