Balkeit Model C
#7

I was looking at an old catalog from the early 1930s, and they had a number of sets with cabinets made by Berkey and Gay Furniture, one of the makes was something called a "Cadillac" which I have never heard of, it may have been a private label brand, or the mail order outfit may have assembled them using surplus chassis installed into B&G cabinets. Balkeit was one of the larger independents started in the 1920s, whom had a few good years during the radio boom, then slowly faded, then went bust or merged into another firm.
Regards
Arran

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
