Radio Amplifier, 1925-1926
01
Artifact Overview
This amplifier would have connected to a tuner to form a complete radio receiver. The standalone nature of this component is typical of the era, when radio was a complex web of parts requiring specialized knowledge to operate. Housed on an open Bakelite base, users had a complete view of its operation. Daven's packaging declared it "The Aristocrat of Amplifiers."
