Hi Kyle

Are you sure those are the right tubes? Could there be another tube?

6C6 and 78 are both pentode amplifiers. 38 is an audio output tube. You should also have a rectifier tube unless this radio was made for DC only? I didn't find a General Television radio with those tubes.

Kyle,

In our Radio Diagram Sourcebook, General Television also has "American" and "Greeley" names connected with the company. I looked for any 4 tube radios, but did not find any under any of the above names, with the 4 tube lineup. But maybe you could look for that model under another name.
