Hi All;
I just picked up an oddball AC/DC set via craigslist called a Medco which was apperently made by a company called Telephonic but I can find no reference in the Rider manuals to either name. It has six loctal tubes types , 35Y4, 35A5, 14B6, 14A7 (12B7), 14Q7, and another 14A7 (12B7), my guess is that it was made between 1946 and 49. I can't find a model number or any markings on the cabinet or the chassis but it has a solid wood cabinet (no veneer), a square airplane dial, two knobs, and is broadcast band only. I found a photo of a similar set online called a model 1635 but I have no way of knowing if it's the same model.
Regards
Arran
