Summary

Description
English: An early vacuum tube audio amplifier from 1924, used to amplify the output of a low power radio receiver designed for earphones, to give it enough power to drive a loudspeaker. It is a 3 tube "push-pull" circuit, with the first tube (left) operating class A providing the power to drive two output tubes class B in opposite phase through a center tapped transformer. The vacuum tubes were early directly heated triodes, the article says either UV199, 201A or 301A tubes could be used. The amplifier was powered by batteries connected to the binding posts at top: it required 6V for the filaments of the tubes, 60-120V for the plate supply, and a third bias voltage of 6-9V.
