The Bremer-Tully Manufacturing Company was founded in 1921 and was located at 532-536 South Canal Street in Chicago, Illinois. It was owned by Harry A. Bremer, president, and John C. Tully, vice-president and secretary. In 1929 the company was sold to the Brunswick-Balke-Collender company, now know as the Brunswick Corporation, the same company that makes billiard tables. At the time Bremer-Tully had licenses from Hazeltine, Latur, RCA, Westinghouse, GE, and Meisner so they could build just about any type of radio receiver.
The Counterphase Six receiver was sold as a kit of parts and as a complete receiver. The February 1926 issue of Popular Mechanics has detailed instructions for building this receiver. The cabinet for ours was built by another company, and happens to match the cabinet for our Remler Infradyne receiver, but is a little wider. The Counterphase Six receiver was announced in October 1925, and by July 1926 was replaced by a shielded version.
Bremer-Tully Counterphase Six
This receiver uses an unusual patented (US 1,580,953) Bremer-Tully designed and manufactured “Torostyle” transformer for the RF stages. The air core Torostyle transformer is less sensitive to picking up interference than other transformer designs.
