I just picked up the innards from a Brunswick console
that is missing the model sticker. It is complete down
to the brass tacks,except no wood. The key may be that it has a magic tuning eye.
The large audio amp uses 2 6V6 tubes. Has matching transformer
on the speaker. Got this from a woman that inherited it.
She loved the wooden enclosure and had her husband
carefully saw the guts out to make room for sweaters!
He was going to throw it away till he discovered my
tube obsession! Should I rebuild it or offer it for parts?
List the tubes, maybe we can figure it out.. How about offering the woman another clothes cabinet? You might end up with a nice radio.

Here's the tube compliment:
(2) 6V6G
5Y3GT
6Q7
6E5 tuning eye
6K8
(2) 6K7
Has push button presets. Lots of tall thin filter caps.
Coke can size (square) IF cans. The more I look the
more I like! I'll have to at least get the wooden
face plate that's waiting to go to the trash.

Brunswick Model 8109 matches your tube lineup. The only difference, tuning eye is listed as 6U5 rather than 6E5. Sometimes these tubes are interchanged. The schematic is in Rider Vol#9, Brunswick 9-2. You should also be able to find it here under schematics. Click on "Rider by Original Index" before Brunswick.

I just downloaded the schematic. Looks like the
right model.
