Sam, it doesn't appear to be listed in N/A. Jump on that radio! I love the styling and the dual chassis. Looks to be in great shape.

Edit: this link might give you a little more information. Dual 45s!

Ah, I know where two of those are near me, but one has a bad power transformer. Not sure if that is an issue with Edison radios, but might be something too look out for. Other than that, they are nice looking radios. If I could, I'd snag both from the guy I know to get a good one.
No matter where you go, there you are.

You lucky people out there in the Midwest and East are in radio heaven. I doubt I could find one of those within a 400 mile radius. Still have many challenges with my Fada 46 that should take me through Winter.
I really don't have room for another console but certainly liking those old TRF sets. Not certain about the Edison but the old TRF sets I have, both don't have disconnects for the speaker or in one case the sub chassis. A real bear to work on them. Took two people to take the electronics out of my Monarch, all three parts hardwired together. Nasty!

They are nice TRF's when done. The PP 45's do make it sound good. I have restored two with the Phonograph. The power transformers are weak and tend to have problems. I had to have a new one wound. Replace both power resistors in the amp chassis as they tend to be open. Plenty of room under the chassis to work and place new caps without opening the cans.
Good luck

Having an R32 in my wake I can say that they are definitely not the easiest sets in the world to rebuild.
The schematic for an Edison R4 is:

Your schematic is on page 6.
With 3 stages of RF amplification it should be a decent receiver.

I picked it up this morning. The seller was very very negotiable. It is in good shape except for the speaker cone.

I'm glad you got that Steve. I noticed your posting on the alternate forum.
