Argirita is the radio-phonograph version of the Kastalia model.

The chassis is the same of  the Kastalia model, it’s an eight tubes  superheterodyne set and it can receive the  medium waves only.

The low frequency stage is unusual designed, it works with two 47 type pentode connected in parallel.

The turntable, which works only 78 laps, has the pick-up with the interchangeable pin system, like a gramophone. Arm and platen are manufactured by Radiomarelli,  the electric motor is branded Magneti Marelli.

The upper knob is for the tuning, moreover by carrying the pointer to the right limit side of the dial, you will set the radio to work in “phonograph mode”. The left knob operates the power switch / volume control, the right one operates a two positions rotating switch for the tone control.

In the Kastalia model, the tone control works with a potentiometer.

This radio was entirely manufactured by Radiomarelli factories in Milan.
