Electradyne Peerless
Two Tube Super Reflex Receiver
Found in the collection of the Lauren Peckham estate, a maybe unique type of broadcast radio receiver.
Unique in the power source for this radio.
The factory provided capability of using a 6 Volt storage battery OR 110 VAC from the house lighting circuits to light the filaments of the two Type 01-A vacuum tubes. (More later.)
This receiver is certainly to be regarded as a ‘local’ receiver of minimum tube count to drive a built-in loudspeaker. The similarities to the Harkness Reflex designs are obvious.
