Hi,

In 1939 it appears the small table-top radios offered by Philco had just the word "transitone" on the front (no Philco), but in the 1940 model year they switched to using "Philco Transitone" or just "Philco". However, I notice from Ron's book that there are some 1940 models that showed just "transitone" (e.g TH-14 on page 136). Is this the case, since they don't look like 1939 carry overs? Were they truly 1940 models?

Also, it seems the 1940 models introduced the use of handles (TH-14 does) and that in some instances the police band markings went all around the outer edge of the dial, rather than being clustered around the 1'o clock location as (it appears) on 39 models.

Any comments?
