Can anyone ID this radio?
#7

Hi'
This is just my opinion, but the cabinet looks to be home made. Also, it could be possible this was some kind of "kit" radio, built by someone as a project or a hobby. I've seen old magazines with correspondence school ads for radio repair the would send out kits as part of the course, so this could be one of those. I had to build a radio from a kit when I studying electronic servicing in Tech college back in the early '90s. That tube layout is the classic "All American 5" design so it would be perfect for teaching radio construction and repair.
Again, that is just my two cents. I have several off brand Bakelite radios that have no identifying marks on them as well, so it could be some obscure maker few people have seen as well. Good luck with it!
