I just won this one tonight.  Looks a little funny, but it's got 11 tubes and 5 bands!

I'm curious to find out what I will be getting.

Judging by the anchor and shield pattern on the speaker grill I would say that the radio may have been used in a Coast Guard or Navy base at one time. Looks very interesting. I will be interested to hear more when you pick it up. Since it is so unique, perhaps you might start it in its own thread.

...I split this into a new thread for you.

The cabinet is homemade, but someone did a pretty decent job of it. Maybe it was owned by a former sailor?

Thanks, Ron. I'll post some pics when I pick the radio up, hopefully Monday!

That was a great deal just for the chassis and speaker, plus you get a unique homemade cabinet. 

I know it is a long-shot, but it sure would be interesting to find out the history of that cabinet.

+One on what John wrote. You got a great deal there.

Well, I did manage to pick this up today, although that is an annoying story.  Anyway, some photos!

The front panel has a soft curvature to it, and the crossed-anchor grill decoration stands proud of the cabinet an 1/8". And it's HUGE, it about dwarfs my 16B, which is hard to imagine.

Almost certainly a Coast Guard emblem.
