Internaional buyesr from canada only, please write before bidding, thanks for looking. Notes. Moedl 80. A new price leader set, this little four-tube regenerative superheterodyne does not work as well as its larger cousins. This radio was intended to get people into the showrooms, where it aws the job of the salesmen to sell a customer up to a higher-priced model. As 1932 was the worst year of the depression, however, the strategy backfired on philco and model 80 became a runaway success. Original selling price $18.75number made 196,175. Notes. The philco model 80 baby grand was released in september of 1932 as part of the company's 1933 line-up. As with several of their entry-level omdels that had preceded it, it was nicknamed the junior. The set was priced very aggressively, at $18.75 including tubes and applicable sales taxes. This pricing was accomplished in part by the use of a new two-toned cabinet that was a simplification of the clyde shuler design, still in use at the time for the 71b and 91b models.
Secondly, although the chassis was an ac-powered superheterodyne, it too was very much designed down to a cost. Philco had eliminated the if stage, leaving it with just four tubes and, like the low-cost models that preceded it, it had no avc or tone control. The engineers made up for the lack of an if stage, to some extent, by adding regeneration to the second detector. This is a technique that had been exploited extensively in the early days of radio and involved coupling the output of a tube back to its input, where it would again be amplified, fed back to the input, and so on, around and around. The process was controlled to stop just short of oscillation, at which point it yielded exceptionally high amplification. Payment methodsall my auctions end in evening.
