I have a Kennedy Cathedral Radio. I thought this would be an easy Id, as the decal on the back indicated a Model 66A. Trouble is, when I brought up the Riders schematic for a 66A, it showed a radio with 12 vacuum bulbs!! The radio I have has only 7.
I checked out Radio Museum and the only radio I could find with this compliment of tubes....80, 47, 55, 56, 58, 57, 58...was the model 1872B. It indicates the year 1932, which is probably about right and describes it as a "Table model without pushbuttons" but there is no picture, so it is hard to tell if this is the right model. I have searched all the Riders schematics and I am unable to find a Model 1872B or any other Kennedy radio with this compliment of tubes. Sams does not even list Kennedy.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
