Question On ID Of Radio
#1

Hi, I have a question on how to id this radio. It is in a dark wood cabinet sort of like a low boy type, has two doors that slide together in front of the cabinet, the radio chasis has the following type of tubes, NX-245, 247, 56. The dial has numbers 0-100 and on the metal around the dial says Franklin, a tag in the cabinet lid that lifts up, states Red Lion Cabinet. The above information leads me to believe it's a radio from the 1920's and a Franklin, however; I can find no model numbers anywhere on the chasis or cabinet. I am stumbed. Thank you, bigdog
