philco wireless phono
#2

Hi Chris

The 42-RP2 is a wireless phonograph. It is a single-play 78 rpm phonograph. But insttead of having a built-in audio amplifier, it contains a small transmitter which broadcasts the record bring played to any nearby AM radio.

These built-in transmitters are normally set to the low end of the AM band. In operation, you would set the radio you were going to listen to the unit over to the low end of the AM dial, then play your record on the player. You would hear the record over the radio.
