1941 Model 985697; 9 tubes. 1942 Model 985794; also 9 tubes. Buick also had a 8-tube version for 1941, Model 980660. Really great sounding radios when restored. Be aware that there are some capacitors on the switch wafers inside the tuning coil cans that need to be replaced--somewhat difficult to get to. I believe those radios were made by RCA.

Sir Randy. . .



Most assuredly, possibly this unit. . . or its variants thereof . . . what with its pushling buttons, multiple shortly wavelet bands and the std Aye-Emm band.
