Does anyone have access to the proper schematic for this unusual drum shaped wooden radio with four tubes plus ballast with the brand name "Silver" on the dial?

Any model number anywhere on it?

Search as I might through the web and my own archives - I could not find a model number.....but I think this is the radio you are speaking of.

Thanks Lou and Dennis; Yes, that is the one. Someone noticed that it was shown in Mark Stein's Vol. II as a model 159 made by McMurdo Silver. I have been going thru the Mallory book which lists capacitors and controls for each radio + the tube line up and how many, which is handy for tracking down Info on those "oddball" sets. Comparing with Rider's, I found at least 79(!) different 4 tubers with the lineup (6D6,6C6,43,25Z5,+ L55 balast), but none were a match. Close but no cigar. So I'm still looking. So far the chassis will only play half-heartedly on one strong local station. I have checked the capacitors, but have no way of knowing the proper value of all those "dog-bone" resistors. Thanks for any help I can get - Ken ^_^
