Hi Dan

Not familar with the radio but know about Arcturus 28 tubes. They were one of the first AC tubes with a carbon rod filament and operate on 15 volts. Since 5 pin bases weren't available cathode and filament are both connected to pin #1. Most likely tubes are blue glass. Others in your radio may also be 15 volt AC tubes?

Be careful with these rare tubes. Carbon filaments break easily if dropped.

Radio would have been made in late 1927 or 1928.
