GREBE SET IS
POPULAR With
'LISTENERS-IN'
Design of Receiver Is All
New; SeIeCtivity Of
Outfit Is Good.
BY TIMES RADIO EDITOR

The Grebe Synchrophase AC
receiver has been as enthusiastically
received by the public as the former
Grebe models in past years. The
Grebe Synchrophase AC receiver
employs three tuned demonstrating
radio frequency stages, detector,
and two stages of audio frequency
The design of this receiver is en-
tirely new. The operation has been
si1nplif1ed as much as possible
without sacrificing results or f1exi-
oility of control.
The reception obtainable from
his set is, we believe, the maximum
>btainable from a receiver of this
leSign and Objectionable features
.ound in earlier AC sets (particu-
arly the AC HUM have been re-
.uced to a minimum.
The cabinet is different in design
rom those generally used, in that
t has no bottom, being attached
lirectly to the rigid die cast base
Which supports the receiver and
7ower unit in such way that no
dependence is placed on the cabinet
or the support of the assembly.
Switch Controls Power
A small toggle switch on the
front of the panel controls the
power input from the AC line.
Symmetrical with the power On the
panel is the "local-diStance switch"
This places Shunt resistance
across che primary of the first in
terstate radio frequency transformer
i'll the local position, to permit re-
ception of local stations with max
imum fidelity.
IN the center of the set is the
tuning control, operating the sin
gle illuminated DIAL which is
marked in kilocycles. The audio
system of the set employs two
stages coupled by transformers of
improved design.
This set also employs an antenna
compensation, which controls small
variable inductance in the first
tuned radio frequency circuit to
compensate for differences in the
antenna used. This control allows
the operator to tune the set to
fine degree and separate stations
that are in the congested band. The
Two outstanding features of the new
Grebe are Selectivity and distance.
Volume Is Good
During the test we were able to
tune in stations on the west coast
with almost as much volume as local
and nearby stations. XII, Los An
geles, is received on this set with
both Nashville and Evansville on the
air, due largely to the fine adjust
ment one is able to make with the
assistance of the antenna compen-
sator.
This years Grebe models also en-
ploy the famous Grebe binocular
oils to couple the tuned stages. The
Frebe Synchrophase will give the
ldio listener many thrills in DIX
ming.
With this set many small distant
atoms are received with surpris-
lg volume and clarity. The work
.anship on both set and cabinet is
highest type. The new Grebe AC
cts are offered in nine different
able and console models and may
had with either dynamic or mag
etc type speakers.
Prospective purchasers of radio

consideration and set that will

From Copiapo it was necessary to
