Hi,
A Grebe-Eisman Synchrophase That's a strange combo, I wonder what it looks like? As I recall it was about 20 inches wide and about 8 deep, three tuning dials mounted horizontally so they came through the panel, linked by a chain drive aas I recall. That's a Grebe Synchrophase. There was another company, Eisemann Magneto Corp., that made some vaguely similar models, except that only their rheostats were horizontal, not the tuning dials. Freed-Eisemann (no relation) was also a well-known maker in the 1920s. 73, Alan |

I find it interesting how peoples memory works, or doesn't depending on how you look at it. I remember years ago, talking to an old guy that was a friend of my fathers, when he found out I collected old radios he asked if I had a Kent A****er... I told him he had the names switched around and it was A****er Kent. He just stood me down, that I must not know much about old radios if I didn't know about Kent A****ers, he knew for sure that was the name cause they had one when he was growing up.... Ron |

That must have been a pretty popular model back in the day.......I've seen no less than five of them at swaps recently in various states of (dis)repair. -Scott DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE AT THE EMAIL ADDRESS ABOVE!

The AK console on the left.... under the metal coffin boxes...
what model # is the radio thats in it?... maybe a 20C or one of the other breadbox units #33 perhaps?... yes I have one... that is incomplete.. and need to know what to look for to complete it.... John, there's one like it except in a pooley cabinet listed on the bay now. It has a model AK 33 which is the battery model that was used to make the model 36 AC set. It's a neat looking radio with the big E speaker sticking through the front. Ron |

The Grebe Synchrophase was an amazing performer in its day, and even now. I'd say it was the best unshielded TRF design ever made by anyone. Grebe sold a lot of them, at $155. 73, Alan |
