Here's one I can't identify. Looks like a cap/coil for tuning, a detector, and two stages of AF. Also appears to be factory printing on the schematic, but can't make out any ID info. Maybe one part near top center says "Interphone", but not sure. The windows to view the tubes are covered with some type of film. With the brass mounting HW, maybe this was an aircraft or ship radio of some sort?

$50 is like giving it away for free. Call the seller a secure it as fast as you can now that the collecting world is clued in on it!!!

Wow. Thanks for it ID, Michael. I hope an ARF member can grab it.

What kind of tubes would a receiver that early use?

EDIT: I found the answer: VT-1 tubes.

Unfortunately, those arn't cheap tubes to replace.

Hi all,

I purchased this set and it arrived today. There's a posting with photos and some info on the Antique Radio Discussions forum here. Thanks to MadRad45 for posting a link to the Craigslist ad last week.
