BOOKSHELF
SPEAKER
SYSTEM
Dynaco. Inc.,
recently
announced the
avail-
ability
of its first
speaker
system,
designated
the Model
A -25.
This
bookshelf
system em-
ploys
an
aperiodic de-
sign, utilizing
a
novel
acoustic impedance
sys-
tem to
provide
the
effect
of
variable cabinet
vol-
ume.
The
aperiodic de-
sign
is
said
to improve
speaker damping
mark-
edly,
thus contributing
to
improved low -fre-
quency transient
re-
sponse and yielding
a
tighter, better defined
bass, with effective
cone
motion
control
down
to
d.c.
A
smoother
impedance curve and es-
sentially
resistive load characteristics pro-
vide improved coupling between amplifier
and
speaker
system in
addition
to more ef-
ficient
power transfer. Technical specifica-
tions:
8 -ohm
impedance;
10"
extended
excur-
sion
woofer
and non -rigid hemispherical
tweeter with
1500
-Hz
noninductive crossover
network; maximum
3% THD
above 50
Hz
with
constant
25
-watt input;
five
-position
tweeter level control.

KIT -BUILDER "CUSTOM" CABINETS
Bell Educational Laboratories
has
developed
a new line
of "custom"
cabinets
that
are
ideally
suited to
complement home
-brew
projects. Trademarked
under the name
"FLEXICAB,"
each
cab-
inet consists
of six
pan-
els and 12
"vise-

clad
steel
plates,
avail-
able with either walnut
wood
grain
or
black
leather
finishes;
front

brushed
brass or chrome
finish.
The
FLEXICAB
is
packaged
with a
set
of pressure-
sensitive
labels which can be
used
to
identify
controls
and functions. The
cabinets are
available in
three sizes:
3" X
4"
22
X
4 "; 3"

the panels
with the
sides,
thus
eliminat-
ing the need
for special hand
tools,
screws,
and adhesives.

TUBE TESTER
Seco
Electronics
Corporation's Model
88A
tube tester
will
test
both
color and mono-
chrome
TV
picture tubes as well as evaluate
nuvistors, novars, compactrons,
decals, mag-
novals, and
all 7 -, 8 -,
and
9 -pin tubes. Test volt-
ages
do
not
exceed
25
volts d.c.
or
22 volts a.c.,
and current
is
compara-
tively
low.
Amplified
meter
readings of
test
information
detect culls
and problem
tubes with
a
sensitivity not other-
wise
possible with a
di-
rect meter
circuit and
neon
lamps. The
Model 88A utilizes "grid
circuit
tests" to
make up to eleven simultaneous
checks
for
leakage, shorts,
and grid emission
or current
reversal
-not to mention
tube merit
and fila-
ment continuity.
Setup
data for multiple
tests
are arranged
on handy
flip -over cards.
The card
system
is automatically
kept cur-
rent
free of
charge
for registered
