Montgomery Ward Model 40 Info Needed
9/18/1998 9:26:04 AMCurt Schilf
I recentyl acquired a tabled top radio (wood case)that I am restoring. The only markings on it are:

1. A "MW" logo on the dial which I assume is Montgomery Ward
The dial looks like a phone dial in which one could put pre-
printed labels in for certain radio stations.
2. On the back is stamped the following:
Model 40
3x7
7M918366A
The tube compliment is:
5Y3,6A8,6K7,6Q7,6F6 and tuning indicator 6G5

I have searched the Sam's site and talked with them. They were unable to find anything regarding this radio. We only searched Montgomery Ward. Is is possible that Montgomery Ward OEM'd some of their radio sets?

If anybody knows anything about this radio or where I could search to get info and a schematic, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Sam's schematics start after WW2. Your radio was made in the late 30's and should be in Rider. Although I did not find your model number, the 62-306 has the same tube lineup. It's schematic is in Rider Vol 10.
