Hollis Baird Receiver with Globe Scanning Disk

(click on picture for high resolution image)

We have acquired this Hollis Baird receiver with a Globe scanning disk on top. This is the only known set of its kind to survive.

This is a closeup of the radio tuning dial. It tunes both the AM broadcast band and the 2-3 mHz television band assigned in 1930. There are two chassis inside the cabinet, a model R-7-T AM receiver, and a model C-3-5 shortwave adaptor.

This is a detail of the speaker grille cloth.

Rear of cabinet

The scanning disk assembly is for the 60 line standard. I have been told that this was manufactured by the Globe Co.
