 By the way, with regard to that site with the catalin radios on it, the dates posted on the Addison sets are wrong. Both the small model with the gothic grille, and the large model with the shortwave band and rectangular bars are post war, 1946-47 not 1940. For some reason this error is repeated ad infinitum all over the internet and in most of the books, some suggesting manufacturing dates as early as 1938 even though all these sets used 150 ma series string tubes which debut in 1939-40. Jayce's new set is a perfect testament to this, it's an RCA and it uses 300 ma tubes with a curtain burner resistive line cord, and RCA was the one who developed 150 ma series string tubes (at least the octal ones). The silly part is that I can even prove this, via not only the Radio College of Canada manuals but with a factory service folder from 1947-47.
  I am actually surprised that this error has slipped by as one of the fellow's whose radios are featured is Paul Pontrello who is a very knowledgeable guy and a straight shooter. Mr. Pontrello pioneered the art of cabinet repair on catalin sets, but unlike another individual listed on that site he discloses the fact that a cabinet was repaired, and unlike that individual you could hold the cabinet six inches from your eyes and have difficulty detecting the repair.
