Stewart Warner Model 1252 "Berkley" Tombstone Radio (1933)
The Stewart Warner model 1252 is a 5-tube
ac-powered 2-band receiver covering standard
broadcast from 530 - 1720kc and shortwave from
5.6 - 18.0mc. The tube line-up is 6A7 (mixer/LO),
6D6 (IF), 75 (2nd detector/AVC/1st AF), 41
(power output), 80 (rectifier). The schematic for
this model can be found at Nostalgiaair. Note that
it appears under model 1251 rather than under
1252.
This is an entry-level model in a line of very stylish
and collectible 1933 tombstone radios from this
manufacturer. The original purchase price was
$39.95.
I bought this at the New England Antiques Radio
Club show in the summer of 2005.
