Kirk's Sterling deluxe
#21

Looks like another postwar startup brand that assembled it's chassis using cheap surplus parts, it's a wonder that they didn't use a few Micamolds or a wet electrolytic whilst they were at it.
 I have another critter like that, it's called a "Medco" made by a short lived company calling itself "Telesonic", they produced maybe three or four models between 1946 and 48 and then shut their doors. Someone on the alternative forum scanned a Sams folder for me  for it but their example and mine are not quite the same as the position of two of the tubes were swapped. It also doesn't help that someone decided to try turning the radio into a tube amp (I think) got confused, and then abandoned the project. I think that what confused them is that the set used a fixed bias supply and generated that voltage by tapping it out of the B- side of the power supply like a pre war AC radio, very strange.
Regards
Arran
