ANOTHER  'SPECIAL'  MIDWEST

This is another Midwest "Special Buy" which was probably sold in late
1938 or early 1939.

The 'Special' part of this radio is its 15 tube chassis.
Note the two tuning eyes. One eye is more sensitive for tuning in weak
and distance stations.

I have a mailing flyer showing this Special Chassis offered in several
1938 cabinets with a note stating how many of each are available.

"Hurry, the supply is limited!"

Was this a way to use up left over cabinets?
Compare this cabinet to the 1938 model MM-12.

The radio does feature three bands, a 12 inch speaker, compensated volume control
and, push button tuning.

This 'Special' chassis is basically a stripped down version
of the 17 tube platform offered in 1939.
Compared to the 17 tube, this chassis has no RF stage,
no Automatic Frequency Control, only 3 bands and no
motor driven dial.
