This would be the second portable in the "other radios" forum where I have a similar one in my collection. I have a Canadian market Phillips portable that looks identical to the Motorola 5A9M Bob just posted. It's called a model CMB41L here is an example: https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/philips_cm..._41_l.html and even the chassis looks the same, not sure of the wiring. I will have to look it up but I think the Phillips may be a 1951 model, so maybe they bought the tooling from Motorola in Chicago, and started making them in Montreal? It's sort of odd because Phillips bought out Rogers after the war, and were making most of their sets in the Toronto area as that was where the Rogers-Majestic factory was. I believe that Motorola also set up a factory in Canada around the same time, though I will have to find out when, and where. They riveted a brass plate over where it says "Motorola" on Bob's set, and put a sticker over the plastic button that releases the lid. Here is the service info on the Pacific TV site: https://pacifictv.ca/schematics/philipscmb41ldata.pdf
