Wc found that this cartridgc worked extrcmcly wcll on either stereo or mono records, both in the quality of sound reproduction and in matters of tracking where no difficulty was en-countered even on loud passages.

ket is BICO’s Model RA-6. It is a 6-transistor. AM superhet receiver. In view of its size (8%* long, 4‘fc" high. and 2^l&" deep) it can hardly be eon-sidered a “Nest-pocket*’ type. However. because of its larger size, it does in-clude a 4" x 6" oval speaker. About 250 mw. of audio power is available from its transistorized push-pull output stage. Among other features is a ver-nier tuning dial, providing a reduction of 1:6: a high-impedance earphone jack; and a built-in rod-type antenna.

This new portable. which is housed in a simulated tan leather carrying case, is among the finest wc have scen to datę. It has unusually high scnsitiv-ity and good selectivity with a rela-tively high sound output, considering portable application.

The kit is relativcly simplc to as-semble and no trouble should be en-countered. even by the uninitiated. pro-vided construction details are followed closely. Pre-aligned r.f. and i.f. trans-formers are used and we found that with slight touch-up alignment. using any ordinary AM radio station broad-

Almost anyone using this type of alignment procedurę will find the performance satisfactory. Howevcr. being perfectionists at heart, we rechecked using a conventional signal generator. We found that some improvement was possible. For those who want maxi-mum performance and do not have the proper test equipment, simply have a local ser\'ice technician do the finał alignment. The cost is smali.

This portable is available as a kit for $29.95 or completely wired at $49.95.    -S-
