1939 Packard Bell 48E
#4

I was answering a technical question regarding the alignment, I have several Packard Bell sets and am quite familiar with the "Stationized Dial" gimmick that P.B used to market their sets. Printing call letters on a dial in and of itself was not that unique, even in terms of West Coast manufacturers, Remler was another, but Packard Bell was the one that coined the phrase "Stationized" and copyrighted it. Actually Packard Bell printed two sets of call letters on their dials, one set for California, the other for "Northwest" stations which included Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado.
The circuit used in the radio is NOT unique at all, its a pretty standard late 30s early 40s RCA licensed design in the front end, as it tended to be in most P.B radios, so the alignment procedure should be almost generic.
Regards
Arran
