Well I guess then the actual serial number for the later version must actually start with a letter. I looked right past the fact that this radio has the 4-24 tubes installed rather than the 1 in the later version. I picked this up in Kutztown last month as a working radio. Unfortunately the seller did not disclose that it was a semi-working radio. It picks up stations but the audio is badly distorted.
