Echophone Ec - 1B Manual. 5/7/2017 0 Comments. Echophone is a very old brand from the early days of radio and there are some beautiful old radios from that era.
Sometimes with handle but for mains only). Dimensions (WHD) 290 x 187 x 182 mm / 11.4 x 7.4 x 7.2 inch Notes Coverage: 0.55 - 2, 2.2 - 7, 8 - 30 MHz, AM/CW, ANL, speaker suspended under the top-panel, bandspread, the EC-1A is nearly identical to model EC-1B.
Both are updated versions of the EC-1, the EC-1B uses an inductor link to the oscillator coil for the bandspread with a cheaper broadcast-type variable capacitor, the Hallicrafters S-41G (gray) and S-41W (white) are electrically and mechanically identical to the EC-1B with the main differences being color and knob style and were produced in 1945 just prior to the introduction of the S38.

Does that bring back some shocking memories! My wife and I married in 1961.
Our 'home' was a 23 ft. All aluminum trailer. I had gotten rid of all my electronics and radio stuff several years before. I had built a 3 tube regenerative receiver with plug in coils, but was not very satisfactory.
Somewhere I found an EC-1 for a very cheap price and found the money to buy it. I ran a wire out the back window and upinto a tree for an antenna.
The receiver worked quite well. Late one afternoon, I was lounging on the bed, leaning against the trailer wall (aluminum) and listening to the radio. Being a lazy sort, I decided to move the dial with my big toe. I also made contact with the metal radio case!!!! Yes,the chassis proper is insulated from the cabinet.
However, there is a fairly large capacitor connecting the chassis to the metal cabinet. A small amount of AC passes to the cabinet. Not enough to kill you, but sure enough to make you remember not to want to complete the circuit again.
Good luck with your sale. Paul in Redmond, OR.
