Identifying a mystery radio
9/8/2013 5:20:28 AMLou
Guys:

I just bought a small, wooden RCA radio with four tubes.It is appx in wide,7 in high and 5 in deep. Looks like it is pre-WWII. The tube complement is:

6K7

25Z6

25L6

6J7

It has a resistance line cord. Any ideas as to model #?

Thanks

Plug in your tube #'s in this database (I did your tube line-up, but not sure if it will show results on this link)....

Then go to this database for pictures..

This is a GREAT way to identify radios.

However mine does not show up here - maybe it is rare. I will have to forward pictures.

Try these:

RCA 9X, 9X1, 9X2, 9X3, 9X4, 9X6 94X1, 94X2, 95XLW
Spiegel Aircastle P, W130, Z7008-9

Any of these would likely have a similar schematic to yours.
