The New Balkite Charger
MODEL J. Has two charging rates. A
low trickle charge rate and a high rate
for rapid charging and heavy duty use.
Can thus be used either as a trickle or
as a high rate charger and combines
their advantages. N o i s e l e s s . Large
water capacity. Visible electrolyte level.
Rates: with 6-volt battery, 2.5 and .5
amperes; with 4-volt battery, .8and.2
ampere. Special model for 25-40 cycles
with 1.5 amperes high rate. Price
$19.50. West of Rockies $20.(In Can-
ada $27.50.)
Balkite Trickle Charger
MODEL K. For those who require a
charger of limited capacity only. Can
be left on continuous or trickle charge,
thus automatically keeping the battery
at full power. Converts the "A" battery
into a light socket "A" power supply.
Charging rate about .5 ampere. Over
300,000 in use. Price $10. West of
Rockies $10.50. (In Canada, $15.)
Three New Balkite "B"s
Balkite " B " eliminates "B" batteries
and supplies "B" current from the light
socket. Noiseless. Permanent. Em-
ploys no tubes and requires no replace-
ments. Three new models. The new
popular priced Balkite "B"-W at
$27.50 for sets of 5 tubes or less re-
quiring 67 to 90 volts. Balkite "B"-X,
for sets of 8 tubes or less; capacity
30 milliamperes at 135 volts —$42.
Balkite "B"-Y, for any radio set; capac-
ity 40 milliamperes at 150 volts—$69.
(In Canada"B"-W$39;"B"-X $59.50;
"B"-Y $96.)
Now push
the line that sells
after January 1st
Balkite sales during the
1925-26 season were 15% greater
after than before January 1st
You know from your own experience in past seasons that most
radio lines do not sell as well after January 1st as before. You
also know that to maintain the greatest possible volume of
sales during the coming months you must push the lines that
sell after January 1st.
Balkite is one of those lines. You have the proof in this
fact: The sales of Balkite Radio Power Units during the 1925-
26 season were 15% greater after January 1st than they were
up to January 1st.
Such a record is to be expected. Every sale of a radio set
creates a new Balkite prospect. In many cases a Balkite sale is
made at the same time. But in many more the sale follows a
month or two later. That is why Balkite sales continue to
mount after the peak of the selling season for sets is over.
That is why Balkite is one of the lines you ought to push now.
Jobbers and dealers who concentrated their efforts last year
on a few live lines secured a much larger volume of sales than
those who scattered their efiorts on many items, most of
which were practically unsaleable at this time of year.
When you push Balkite you profit by Balkite broadcasting
and by one of the greatest advertising campaigns in radio.
This campaign goes right on after January 1st. It is behind
you when it can do you the most good.
This is the greatest of all seasons for light socket radio
power devices. Make the maximum profit out of this demand
by pushing Balkite, the standard line in the field.
Balkite Combination
When connected to the "A" battery
this new Balkite Combination Radio
Unit supplies automatic power to both
"A" and " B " circuits. Controlled by
the filament switch on your set. Entire-
ly automatic in operation. Can be put
either near the set or in a remote loca-
tion. Will serve any set now using
either 4 or 6-volt "A" batteries and re-
quiring not more than 30 milliamperes
at 135 volts of "B" current—practically
all sets of up to 8 tubes. Price $59.50.
(In Canada $83.)
AH Balkite Radio Power Units
operate from 110-120 volt AC
current tvith models for both
60 and 5 0 cycles. The new
Balkite Charger is also made
in a special model for 25-40
cycles.
