Hello, Paul: the 45L is a nice looking set. Yes, the same radio as the "butterfly" model. It is a relatively simple 6 tube set that had broadcast and a decent (4.2-13.0 MHz) shortwave band.
In my opinion the 5 and 6 tube Philcos from the mid '30s play and recieve very well for a 5 or 6 tube set. You definitely have a keeper.
