Hi,

Yes, perhaps they used it early on then dropped it as being unnecessary as it doesn't seem to show up in later advertising that I've found/seen.

It seems to be more than just a typo in that one early 1937 line brochure, as I have a Philco marketing booklet introducing the 1937 line that, now I read it again, refers several times to the 690X as De Luxe while describing automatic tuning & the Foreign Tuning System. Interestingly, unlike for the 116X and 675X, it does not state De Luxe on the specific 690X pages however - as linked to in my original post:-

This was probably for brevity.

Thanks for replies,
Paul
