Chris:

I think we need a pic or a model number. It could be an Atwater kent. Is it in a metal box with one big dial up front on the left and one small dial up front on the right?

Sir Chris . . . . .


Let's initially deal with their propensity for the utilization of the slightly less used #26 toobies in its RF stages.


Then, in amongst all of these potential 52 possibilities, you might find something close enough to work with,

since it is but a mere TRF'er.


E.g. a variant might merely be the use of a #27, vice 24A in the audio aspect, all in accordance as to how its design

handled the driving of the # 45 AF output toobies.


Start here . . . . do not pass go . . . do not collect $220 . . . nor do you need to go directly to jail . . .
yet..
