"An
Achievement
and an
Accomplishment":
The
Midwest ROYALE
RADIO.
"All
cost
limitations
were
removed
when the
Royale
Custom-Built,
Super De
Luxe,
Unlimited
FULL
Fidelity,
24 Tube,
All Wave
Radios
were
developed."
Quite
a mouth
full of
verbiage.
Somewhat
true
however.
The
limited
production
1936 ROYALE
chassis
was built
differently
and more
expensively
than other
Midwest
radios.
The sales
catalog
states
that the
chassis
was aged
to
eliminate
all drift
and guaranteed
for 5
years.
Some of
the Royale
features
include:
The Royale was available in 3 different cabinet styles;
This is the Royale Avon console.
A
tall radio
measuring
52.5"
high,
28"
wide and,
19"
deep.
It
incorporates
the
patented
Acousti-Spread
V-Front
styling,
a
method
of
dispersing
the sound
from the
speakers
throughout
the room.
My set needs some work but I'm glad to have one.
The Royale Fleetwood.
"The
V-Front
design,
wing like
panels,
and
walnut
columns in
the
grille,
indicate
new
individuality
and
smartness".
The
cabinet
measures
48"
high,
28"
wide and,
17"
deep.
Top
of the
line Royale
Victoria
radio and
phonograph
combination.
A
very large
set
measuring
52"
wide,
39"
tall, and
25.5"
deep.
It's very
heavy too.
