Reply To: Found a Model 646A Bendix “Phantom Dial” Radio

Morning Gary

Very unusual radio indeed. I am trying to wrap my mind around how this dial setup works. There are lots of hit on this set on Google. It looks more like a sewing Machine than a radio. It seems Bendix had other models of this radio, including a Phonograph/Radio Combo, as well as a chair-side combo. I was also surprised to see that the value of this unique set is so low on eBay. Below is a link to Schematic and service info on this set, should you need it.
