I suspect they are works of art by a knife maker so they are very expensive. http://www.knivesoflore.com/knivesdnn/GalleryProductDetails/tabid/114/ProductID/72/Default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have my tube testers and other test equipment here. The big old radios with the shortwave bands are way cool. Have not seen one of the those in years. The last one I worked on used some of the old "Coke Bottle" tubes.. Thing could heat your house. Dave.. Edited August 31, 2019 by DrB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubdriver Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 4 hours ago, DrB said: Now that is a nice radio... I wonder what tubes it used... Dave It looks to me to be a Sonora TW-49, built around 1939-40 - a more-or-less standard pre-war octal base All American Five design. 35Z5GT rectifier, 35L6GT audio output, 12A8GT converter, 12K7GT IF amplifier and 12Q7GT detector/1st audio amp. Nothing terribly fancy circuit-wise, but that is a damned fine looking table radio! I may have to look for one of those! -Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
