GULBRANSEN CHAMPION, JR.,

Latest Gulbransen Co. Product An Ideal Companion
for the Gulbransen Champion Radio.
PRESTO
The Gulbransen Co. of Chicago. 111., announces a
new radio set—The Gulbransen "Champion Jr."
The "Champion Jr." will retail at only $94.50 with-
out tubes. An official of the Gulbransen Co., in com-
menting on this new set, states: "The 'Champion Jr.'
is the outstanding value in its price class. It makes
an ideal companion for the Gulbransen 'Champion'
which has already proven itself a champion radio
value in every way. The announcement of this new
set has met with wonderful enthusiasm among our
distributors and dealers, and we have already received
numerous orders for immediate shipment."
The "Champion Jr." is a seven tube set with two
stages of tuned screen grid radio frequency with three
tuned circuits, detector and two stages of audio fre-
quency.
The tubes employed are 3 No. 224s, radio frequency
amplifiers and detector, 1 No. 227 first audio frequency
amplifier, 2 No. 345s. in push pull amplification and
1 No. 280 rectifier.
The -Champion Jr." has unusually good tone re-
production, as it reproduces with 95 to 100 per cent
tone fidelity between 100 and 1,000 cycles. This covers
the entire range of the human singing and talking
voice and almost the entire range of all wind and
string instruments.
A feature is tone control which enables the operator
to bring out any tone that is preferred. The tone con-
trol is gradual in operation and the tone can be set
at any point that is desired.
Selectivity and sensitivity are uniform over all the
dial, irrespective of the length of the antenna to which
the receiver is attached.
The volume is ample for any size home. The set
is equipped with a dynamic speaker.
The cabinet is of especially pleasing design and pro-
portion measuring 40 inches high—24}/> inches wide
and \4 l /2 inches deep. Sides and top are of highest
quality walnut veneer. The dial and speaker panel
is gracefully extended and is made of matched figured
herringbone oriental walnut with butt walnut overlay
surmounted by a top strip of zebra wood.
