1. BALKITE W A"
A complete, batteryless, electric radio power
unit replacing "A" batteries entirely, and
supplying filament or "A" current directly
from the light socket. Consisting of a rec-
tifier and a new electrolytic filter-condenser
in one cell, it contains no battery in any
form. It operates only while the set is in
use. Its constant uniform output is at all
times equal to that of a fully charged storage
battery. It has no tubes to burn out or re-
place. It is no larger than a medium sized
"A" storage battery. It costs no more than
ordinary battery equipment.
2. BALKITE "AB"
A complete, batteryless, electric radio power
unit replacing both "A" and "B" batteries,
and supplying both plate and filament cur-
rent directly from the light socket. A com-
bination of Balkite "A" and "B" in one
housing, it contains no battery in any form.
It operates only while the set is in use.
It is small and compact. Price—135 volt "B"
3.BALKITE«B"
Prices of Balkite "B" have
been drastically reduced. The popular
"B- W"f or sets of up to 90 volts is now $22.50.
Balkite "B"-135, a new improved model,
output 40 milliamperes at 135 volts, lists at
$32.50; "B"-180, output 55 milliamperes
at 180 volts, at $39-50. Balkite now costs
no more than the ordinary "B" eliminator.
4. BALKITE CHARGERS
Prices of Balkite Chargers have also been
radically reduced. Model "J>" the standard
high-rate charger, is now $17-50. Model
"N," a new trickle charger with rates of .5

Balkite has long been the leader in the ra-
dio power field. That leadership has been
built on quality. Now to quality have been
added developments making Balkite sensa-
tional. To both have been added low price.
The new Balkite line enables you to turn
the greatest demand in radio today—the
demand for electric radio power—into
profit. It is one of the most desirable lines
in the entire radio field. Fansteel Products
