Subject: Re: Pierson KE-93 Tube radio
The receiver was designed by Karl Pierson W6BGH and he
formed a partnership with Eskil Holt in 1955. He had
previously made a larger, home station size receiver which
was the KP-81, in the late 40's. The KE-93 is about the
physical size of a Gonset G-66, and chromed as well.
Reviewed in QST May 1958, CQ June 1960, and originally
sold for the big price of $199.00. 6/12/110v power supplies
were available. Early versions had a built in speaker and
power supply - later separate units as options.
6 1/4 x 6 1/4 x 9" 10.5 lbs
(info from Ostermann's SW receivers Past and Present
1942-1997)

If you don't locate a manual, BAMA does NOT have one listed,
but they are available from Gary Gompf W7FG at
www.W7FG.com $20 plus shipping (usually about 4 or 5 dollars)

and I must say his manuals are top quality.
