Eric, we all apparently have bad days. Personally I would go by the tube layout on the bottom sticker if it does have one. Please be careful as the AC/DC sets can have a "hot chassis". Meaning one side of the the AC line is on the chassis. Depending on how it is plugged in, (you can flip the plug over to plug it in), you could be looking at line voltage on the chassis. Not a nice experience if you touch and your grounded. Safety first! Most that work on these use an isolation transformer. This will keep you from grabbing the chassis and getting a real surprise. Just be careful and don't touch the chassis when the dang thing is plugged in.
Nice looking radio, lots of help here. Enjoy the hobby as when you get it running you will be hooked and looking for your next. It's worse than drugs. Icon_lol
