It was the second consumer radio made after WW II using Subminiature tubes, the Belmont Boulevard was the first (ca. 1946). Features earphone only operation as it only has two of these tiny tubes. However it is reflexed therefore performing like a four tube circuit.  Power requirements: two 1.5 volt "AA" cells and one 22.5 volt "B" battery. It measures 5 3/4 X 2 1/4 X 7/8", weighs just 6 oz w/o batteries.
