Need help ID'ing this unit
#4

Hi 'Aunt Peg',

Since you're new to this it may be helpful to note that "1942" radios would have typically hit the market about September 1941. Kinda like they do automobiles. Thats significant in this case since domestic radio production ceased early in 1942 (March, I think) due to America's entry into the world war.

A tip. You have 5 "loctal" tubes in that radio. The trick for removing them is to tilt in the direction of the tit on the tube base and they will (should Icon_smile ) pop loose.
