I found this at an antique shop last weekend along with a Westinghouse. $20 apiece, probably paid too much but oh well.

It's a GE, the back is long gone and the tag along with it. I don't see any tube decals inside, either.

Tube lineup (what it came with) is: 3525 GT, 35L6 GT, 12SQ7 GT, 12SG7, 12SA7, 12SK7.

Looks like it to me..
I think that was a great price..
If you send Radiodaze.com the dial they will repro it for about $40.00

Good to know, I may do that!

One issue it has is the dial indicator seems to be missing. I haven't taken it apart yet though, so it may just be filthy or have fallen down inside someplace.

If it is missing let me know the height of the dial.
I might have one that will fit.
