The model 99 (manufactured 19??) is one of the very few models of Equasonne that included a built in turntable.  Many of the other models simply included a phono jack through which you can connect an external phonograph..  This model possibly came only in an AC version, as I have yet to uncover any information on a DC version.  The Model 99 is an 11 tube set. Personal taste perhaps, but this is the most beautiful Equasonne I have ever seen! Granted, the model 99 did not use the tuning selector unit with the additional 485 tube like the Model 235 Equasonne radio/phonograph combo, but it did incorporate a module with additional stage of audio frequency amplification, which the Model 235 did not.
