The "Super Defiant"
The SX-25 is was introduced in 1940. It is an upgrade to the lower cost SX-24 "Defiant" introduced the prior year. With 12 tubes compared to 9 in the SX-24, the SX-25 featured push-pull audio in place of the single-ended audio of the SX-24 and an additional tuned RF stage for all bands except AM broadcast.
