Montclair, New Jersey, is believed to be the first radio manufactured under the Armstrong regenerative circuit patent 1113149. Panel controls are unidentified but presumably are tickler coupling, primary and secondary turning. The RA-6 is essentially a tuner, since the audion tube is connected from another control box. Original price: $35.00
