Radiola 28 not only has the tone quality for which the Super-Heterodyne is fa- mous. Because it uses the new power tube, it gets great volume on dry batteries ~—without distortion; gives you clear, true tone quality whether you like the music loud or soft. It oy nents Smith really what's what about watts was w ques- tion.
