Hi all ...About 10 years ago at a garage sale I came accross a real nice deco console radio. It has system that shines 3 different colored lights (on HIGHLY DETAILED/ colorful reverse painted dial) depending what band you are on..VERY NEAT..and VERY COLORFULL IN A DARK ROOM....ANYWAY (1936-38 I am guessing)..and now I have the "experience" to electronically restore it (in part THANKS to this site!!!). It has "La France" on reverse painted dial and has model # 2DL I know it was sold by the Fair Store chain... I don not know who manufactured it...Any ideas?. Anyone know for sure?? Or any info?? I am looking for a schematic.. Here is the tube line-up (4)6k7 (3)6C5 (2)5z4 (2)6L6 6H6
