This 20 tube Radio & Phonograph combination was 
the top of the line for Midwest in 1938, 
catalog order number YY-20. 

A few of the features of this radio are:
* Three speaker system - two 6" high frequency 
    speakers and a 12" woofer.

* Electronic Volume Expander Circuit.
* Motorized tuning with Automatic
    Frequency Control.

* 6 bands.

Unlike some 1938 radios with motorized tuning, hand 
tuning is not required. Just press the desired station button 
located on the front of the cabinet and the radio automatically 
tunes itself right on station.
One of the buttons is used to turn the set off.

The above features are common to all of 20 tube Midwest models.

 

Three speaker system 

The very large 8.5" diameter dial is called the
Magic Mystic Movie Dial.
Normally, only the broadcast band is seen. The shortwave 
bands appear when the band switch is set to any of the 
shortwave positions. The dial then illuminates red with the 
bands backlit.

The frequency indicator, known as the
Traveling Coloray Bulls Eye, is a dot of light 
which changes color when the radio is tuned on station.
You may have seen a similar type dial arrangement on a 
Scott Philharmonic.

 

The cabinet measures 46" high, 32.5" wide and, 16" deep.

Price when new: $149.95

This cabinet could also be ordered with the 18, 16 &
12 tube chassis.
