12" or 10" records at a time and can be set for either "manual" or
"automatic" operation.
The large illuminated linear dial is easy to read and bears the
names of foreign cities in the portions of the dial in which their
short-wave broadcast station transmitting frequencies fall. The
tuning range covers standard broadcast, most important European
and American shortwave broadcast bands.
Among the circuit features of this Model 208-Ck is the very
efficient Superheterodyne circuit employing 8 tuned circuits, the
wide range band pass radio frequency amplifier stage, and an auto-
matic volume control circuit to counteract signal fading on weak
stations. A special low-noise converter circuit is incorporated, re-
sulting in an extremely low signal-to-noise ration.
The built-in loop antenna permits operation without an out-
side aerial so that the receiver may be used at any power outlet.
This loop antenna by virtue of its directional properites is less
subject to the picking up of man-made static than an outside an-
tenna with its attendant lead-in.
This Stewart-Warner instrument is wired for television, fre-
quency modulation and phonograph sound when used with picture
attachment, converter or record player, respectively.
