The Music Trade Review
SEPTEMBER 3, 1927
Balkite has pioneered
but not at the expense of the public
or the radio trade
Balkite " A B " Contains no battery. Acom-
plete unit, replacing both "A" and "B" bat-
teries and supplying "A" and " B " current
directly from the light socket. Operates only
while the set is in use. Two models: "AB"
6-135,* 135 volts "B" current, #59.50. "AB"
6-180, 180 volts "B" current, #67.50.
e "A* Qontains no battery.The same
as Balkite "AB" above, but for the "A" circuit
only. Will serve wherever 6-volt "A" batteries
are now in use. Not a battery and charger but
a perfected light socket "A" power supply.
Price #32.50.
Balkite " B " Has the longest life in radio.
The accepted tried and proved light socket
"B" power supply. 300,000 in use. The first
Balkite "B," 5 years old, is still in service.
Three models: "B"-W, 67-90 volts, #22.50;
"B"-i35,* 135 volts, #32.50. "B"-i8o, 180-
volts, #39.50. Balkite now costs no more than
the ordinary "B" eliminator.
First noiseless battery charging. Then
successful light socket "B" power.
Then trickle charging. And today,
most important of all, Balkite "AB,"
replacing both "A" and "B" batteries
and supplying radio power from the
light socket. The great improvements
in radio power have been made by
Balkite.
This pioneering has been impor-
tant. Yet alone it would never have
made Balkite one of the best known
names in radio—nor have made Bal-
kite the leader in the radio power field.
Balkite has become the leader be-
cause over a period of years Balkite
performance at the hands of its
owners is unequalled in radio. Because
with 2,000,000 units in the field
Balkite has a record of freedom from
trouble seldom equalled even in the
oldest and most soundly established
industries. Because Balkite Radio
Power Units last longer than any
other devices in radio. Because Balkite
is today synonymous with quality.
Balkite has pioneered. But not at
the expense of the public, nor of the
radio trade. Balkite owners have been
satisfied owners; Balkite dealers have
always made money. No Balkite prod-
uct has ever failed to be a best seller.
The famous balkite
electrolytic principle
Balkite success has been based on the
Balkite principle of electrolytic recti-
fication. This principle \s so reliable
that it is today standard on the signal
systems of most American as well as
European and Oriental railroads. It
is this principle that accounts for
Balkite long-life, that makes Balkite
radio power units permanent pieces
of equipment.
Don't gamble
with untried devices
Time was when one radio device
looked as good as another. Today
there is no longer any need for gam-
bling with your own or your custom-
er's money— you need no longer sell
experiments. Balkite—the tried and
reliable—offers you a complete line,
to serve all requirements, at the lowest
prices in Balkite history, backed by one
of the largest advertising campaigns
in radio. Concentrate on Balkite and
make money.
