Help everyone...what have I got???
#1

Hello everyone. Picked up a couple of radios recently, not that I was looking for them, but they just sorta fell into my lap. One is an Emerson DJ-312 ac/dc portable in relatively good condition. The other is something of a mystery. The only marking I can find on it is an orange label on the back that states " Plant A Chicago, USA no. 225410." The cabinet looks a little like a Philco 'bullet' radio and is in very restorable condition. Can anyone shed some light on this second radio? It has a label under the cabinet that says Model 215, but most of the label is missing. It's a BC/SW receiver, and doesn't look like much to work on it. Tubes are 6A7, 6D6, 76, 25Z5, 43, and a K49C ballast tube. Any info anyone can offer is greatly appreciated. Take care. Gary
