The Design

The design of this radio is more modern than that of the Talisman series. Radio buyers of the nineteen fifties demanded a symmetric cabinet, and this radio employs the modern Noval tubes with parallel filaments. Tesla could not resists the Piano Key hype, but these keys only change the wave bands while the power is switched with the volume control as in the earlier designs. An unusual combination.
