ALL FALL 1932 MODELS REMAINED IN THE PHILCO LINEUP.
Photo of 14LZX-SU speaker courtesy Clifford R. Huff One of four new chairsides, this set is based on the Model 91 chassis which now had AM and "police" band coverage (1.5 to 3.2 mc). Original selling price: $150 Number made: 3,650
Original selling price: $37.50 Number made: 20,750 (NOTE: Figure includes June 1933 Model 19B)
A new chairside using the Model 19 chassis. The 19LZ uses a built-in eight inch speaker. Original selling price: $65 Number made: 2,500 (NOTE: Figure includes Models 19LZX & 91RX)
This chairside is identical in appearance to the 19LZ above, but uses a separate speaker cabinet which is identical to that used with Model 91RX (see bottom of this page). Original selling price: $100 Number made: 2,500 (NOTE: Figure includes Models 19LZ & 91RX)
Photo courtesy Brett Sloan Two new radio-phonograph consoles; the 26J used a Model 89 chassis while the 27J used a Model 19 chassis. Of course, the 19 and 89 chassis are virtually identical except for the shadowmeter used on Model 19 (and 27J). Original selling price & number made: Not available
Original selling price: $25 Number made: 6,250
Early versions of Model 81B had four knobs; the off-on switch being separate and directly under the tuning knob. Most models, however, have the off-on switch combined with the volume control (as shown at right). Original selling price: $18.75 Number made: 196,175 (NOTE: Figure includes production of Fall 1932 Model 80B)
Other than the lack of a shadowmeter, the early versions of Model 89 are nearly identical to early Model 19B sets. Place an early 89B next to a 19B, however, and you will notice that the 89B is slightly shorter. Original selling price: $30 Number made: 4,000
Photo courtesy Jerry Waters A more common version of the early 1933 Model 89, with a flat front panel. Original selling price: $30 Number made: 94,390 (NOTE: Figure includes production of June 1933 Model 89B)
Original selling price: $37.50 Number made: 94,974
Yet another new Philco chairside, this is electronically identical to Model 14LZX while the cabinets are identical to Model 19LZX. Original selling price: $100 Number made: 2,500 (NOTE: Figure includes Models 19LZX & 91RX)
