Kennedy Cathedral Radio Identification
#1

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.

George R.
