Description
Uses three vacuum tubes, installed. Serial No. 22013. Small brochure housed inside for the Model V Receiver, Phones, and Loud Speaker, stamped on back by H. F. Manchester Radio Service & Supplies (Merced & Atwater, Calif.). "This new Kennedy Radio Model V presents one of the most exceptional values ever offered. The receiving unit is a distinct advance in radio engineering. It was developed by the Kennedy Engineering Staff to meet an insistent demand for apparatus which combined unusual selectivity and perfection of detail with greatly simplified tuning. After initial settings are made, all tuning is controlled by a single dial. Yet, with this remarkable ease of operation the selectivity of the earlier Kennedy models has been retained. Responds to all broadcast wave-lengths--operates on any antenna, outside type preferred. Cabinet of solid mahogany--pleasing, harmonious and an acquisition to any home. The sloping panel arrangement is new and makes for grater ease and precision in tuning. Panel highly polished black formica--dials German silver--batteries fully enclosed. Price, without accessories, $88.75 (west of Rockies, $91.25); with Kennedy 3,000-ohm head phones and plug, $98.75 (west of Rockes $101.25). All Kennedy receiving sets are licensed under Armstrong U.S. Patent No. 1,113,149.
