| The model 69 (manufactured 19??) apparantly came in an AC version only. It uses the same chassis as Models 79-A and 89. The 69 is an 8 tube radio. This is the least amount of tubes found in any Equasonne. It uses a single 585 power output tube rather than the usual paired arrangement of two tubes in push-pull. The RF Amplifier unit is the same as that found in the 930, which differs very slightly from the 931 type, common to most models. The tuning selector unit is also of the 930 type. Models 69, 79-A and 89, did not come with an internal speaker. Rather they featured a speaker jack for connection to an external speaker, like the Model 29 cabinet speaker shown in the above photo. The Model 69 originally sold for $147 (complete with tubes). The Model 29 cabinet speaker sold for $52.50. |
