My Kutztown Score
#4

I'll get out my magnifying glass and compare the Cunningham logo on the radio to a Cunningham tube logo. At quick glance, they look similar, but not sure they're exact. Pulled the chassis this AM and found that, according to the printed sockets, the 6C6 and 6D6 were in the wrong sockets. The radio also has a 25Z5 rectifier, 43 output tube, and a "Type A" air cooled ballast, which I believe is a replacement. Sadly, several hundred different sets had this tube line-up which will make identifying the actual manufacturer all the more difficult. One friend thought that it may be a rebadged Trav-Ler.
Once the tubes were installed in their proper places, I brought it up on the variac and eventually got pretty good reception despite excessive hum. For now, it will be a handsome shelf sitter until I get around to recapping it.

PS: Yes, morzh. I AM the knob guy.
