Hello all .I am getting a radio chassis shipped to me .It is an unknown model.It is gorgeous and I was thinking of building a wood case with a lid that lifts up for it,but it looks beautiful just by itself!!!Anyways I am wondering if anyone has any idea what model and what tubes are requird.It has a completely sealed greyish metal box that houses the tuning capacitor ,transformer etc.that runs the entite length of the chassis.There are three bakelite (I assume)knobs in front(middle one tuning,and two little lever things ,one on each side of the knobs(antenna tuners???)maybe?On each front corner of the chassis is a 4 pin tube socket.Behind the metal box are four 4 pin sockets (6 UX TUBES TOTAL)In between the tube sockets are 3 gorgeous COPPER rf cans.there are also two greyish roundish sort of cans probably capacitors??maybe .Does this design (model ) sound familiar?Any info would be appreciated.It's strange that the 1920's ,early 30,s chassis almost look ahead of there time( smooth cans)boxes and copper cans etc.(weird!)

WHOOPS!! I GOOFED.The metal box does not go the entire chassis length but a few inches in from each end ,and on one side is one of the copper cans and on the other side is one of the ovalish silvery grey cans.There are also 2 sets of terminal posts on the back (vertical)of the chassis.
