The Gilfillan model 56B is a compact radio receiver employing the super-heterodyne circuit.  The inherent sensitivity, selectivity and tone quality of the super-heterodyne is a feature of this receiver.  The unit type construction is used which together with the reproducer unit results in a compact receiver of excellent performance.  The entire hand wired chassis is enclosed in a cabinet of pleasing design, the chassis loads from the bottom of the cabinet

Arguably, the best performing TRF battery set made in the twenties. The circuit is a neutrodyne and Grebe was sued by Hazeltine (Independent Radio Manufacturers) because of it, though production of the MU-1 continued ultimately reaching over 150,000 radios. The MU-1 is very sensitive and will separate signals quite well due to its SLF condensers and “binocular” coils. Additionally, during its production many improvements were made, the most noteworthy is the band switch allowing further spreading out of the tuning.

A compact radio receiver employing the super-heterodyne circuit and 8-pin octal tubes.  The inherent sensitivity, selectivity and tone quality of the super-heterodyne is a feature of this receiver.  The hand wired type construction is used which together with the 5” speaker results in a compact receiver of excellent performance.

Knight, by Allied, Portable Superheterodyne, Model B10600-6. I've managed to find documentation of a model B10600-, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, but can't find anything on 6. It appears that these models were made in 1941, but again, I can't find much information. It looks as if the ON/OFF switch is actuated as the door is opened and closed.

The MC60 one of the best tube power amplifier ever made, it will do 100 Watts into 8 Ohms all day and clip like a good transistor amplifier. It’s very stable, great damping factor and very low THD, 0.05% at 10 Watts and no crossover distortion like 99% of the transistor amplifiers, even the ones I designed and manufactured.

1957 McIntosh  MC60 power amplifier

Rescued from dumpster  was the second model amplifier Gordon Gow and Frank McIntosh built. A 20 Watt amplifier that used unity coupling output and driver transformer. The power transformer, along with the power supply filter choke, driver and output transformer were all potted in the aluminum box you see but the power transformer primary was shorted, hence the outboard one.
