John R Wrote:No such tube as a 617FG. Believe it to be a 6L7G, pentagrid mixer amplifier, between the two metal tubes. Am I seeing things or is there not an eighth tube hidden behind the second glass tube from the left in the pix? Icon_confused Lar, can you relist your tube lineup?
John

Was thinking that after I tried to find it in my Tube Lore book, Icon_wink

Didn't seem right to me even though I'm not all that familiar with pre 1940s radio tubes.

The print is faint so I'll have to take another look.

My radio matches the one in the Philco sites Canadian section that is named 53X:

Will see if I can get a close up picture of the radios chassis info.

Cheers

Larry
