Folks, I have a white plaskon radio that I got in a pile of radios at auction. It has a metal tag on the face that says Goodyear Wings. However, the two such models listed on the schematics here are for wooden tabletop radios, and the layouts do not match at all. I did find a picture of this model:

The above site states that it was made by Belmont. The chassis is stamped:
3 B 210-8
I cannot find a model number from either manufacturer that is close. This looks to be an early AA5 transformerless. Some tubes are missing, but if anyone can make use out of a partial linup, I can provide it.

Try looking at Belmont model 602B. Shcematic is in Resources on this site, and a picture is on Radioattic. The picture looks exactly like the one you reference.

Hope this helps, Doug

Doug,

that's the one! 602C.... looks like I have a ballast tube...This one was so rusted it looked like an unlabeled radiotron. Hope it's still good. I'd like for this to be a christmas present so hopefully it won't be too fussy. Thanks again.

Wade
