A set that enables you to turn to London, New York, Berlin, Moscow or Vatican City as easily as you turn to your local YA or ZB station. To find long-distance stations as easily as your local ones. To find them always at precisely the same point on the dial, night after night, year in year out! To identify them, from their position on the dial, just as easily, just as certainly, as you do your local stations—without having to wait for them to announce themselves! A miracle set! We think so! And we think you will think so too —when you have heard it, when you have tried it.

Telephone 13-577 DIFFERENT from all Previous Short-wave Radios 1. Everyone is well-acquainted with the tediousness and the difficulty of tuning in short-wave stations. The Columbus Calibrated Short-wave Model has completely eliminated these difficulties and has brought short-wave reception on to the same trouble-free basis as local reception. 2. Each short-wave band, the i 6 metre, ig metre, 25 metre and the 31 metre band, now has a tuning space of 6 inches instead of the usual i inch. This results in each short-wave station having as much tuning space as any of the local Broadcast Stations. 3, This, in turri, assures that every. short-wave station has a fixed point on the dial, and can be found at any moment with ease and simplicity. 4. Magic Eye Tuning is now extended to short-wave stations instead of for use on broadcast reception only. 5. There is no fading, no surging, no wandering—no need for constant re-adjustment of the tuning knob. 6, Other features of this Model include a delightful spin tuning action and the Heavy Duty 10-incb Columbus speaker.
