Lafayette Model T99 Ivory Plaskon Table Radio (1940)
Small ac/dc powered
4-tube standard
broadcast receiver found
at a flea market. The tube
line-up is somewhat
unusual, comprising
12SK7GT (mixer/LO),
12SJ7GT (biased
detector/AF amp),
50L6GT (AF output
stage), 35Z5GT
(rectifier). Notice that the
sum of the filament
voltages of these tubes is
12V less than that of the
standard
"all-American-five". As a
result, this radio runs its
filaments a little "hot".
