Catalog
Number
A-16.
This is
the
smallest
console
for 1935
measuring
39"
high,
23"
wide and
13"
deep.
It
features
the 16
tube
chassis
with 5
bands, Tune-A-Lite
and a
12"
speaker.
Price when
new was
$79.95.
Most
likely
near the
end of the
1935 model
year,
Midwest
discontinued
this
cabinet
and
replaced
it with a
simpler
and easier
to
manufacture
cabinet.
Here's a
supplement
letter I
found
enclosed
in a 1935
catalog
explaining
that
this
beautiful,
new,
modern and
luxurious
console is
now
offered in
place of
the A-16
pictured
in the
catalog At
No Extra
Cost.
This
cabinet
was
continued
into the
1936
line-up of
Midwest
radios as
well.
This is an actual photograph I found of a gentleman with his (apparently) new Midwest A16.
