Hi Jerry, Orpheus were made by Silver,McMurdo. I can't see any 6 tube models. Can you please list the tubes used and any letters or numbers on attached labels, e.g. WG. Don Black.

: Hi Jerry, Roth-Downes Mfg. Co. 2324 University Ave., St. Paul Minn. did make Orpheus radios in the mid twenties. If it's that vintage it probably uses 201A or similar tubes. I don't know if this company became the Silver McMurdo Inc. sets. Don Black.
