I passed on a radio today - but I like and can still purchase it. Need help identifying it, seeing as I am up here in the great white north. It was Manufactured in the USA by Lansing - Model 105. The dial has the following written on it: "Western Air Patrol" It was manufactured about 1935 or so judging from the tubes. I can't find it in the Sams lists on the site. It is a great looking little radio - the dial is damaged and would need replacing but if it is a orphan, I guess I will still pass on it. Did someone else make it?. Are there schematics? etc. etc.

Thanks in advance Christopher

Hello Christopher

There are some listings in the "Resources" section of this site for Western Air Patrol. If you know the tube line-up of the radio you are interested in, you can browse through the pages looking for a match.

Doing a search for Western Air Patrol on the Antique Radio Forum site will bring up posts that mention Western Air Patrol radios were mostly made by Gillfillan, some by H.H. Horn and Patterson. I believe they were sold mostly on the U.S. west coast.

I have a Western Air Patrol console in storage, don't remember the model number. One of those "get to it one of these days" projects.
