I've been a bad boy againIcon_redface! Another Craigslist find for $50. I had never heard of an Imperial radio before and a quick check of Nostalgia Airs site lists only one Imperial model under Triangle Electric Co. and it's not this one! No manufacturers label in the cabinet either, just a patent label and serial number. Big chassis, 12 tubes with tuning eye, 2 5W4 rectifiers and 2 6L6 output tubes. previous owner says it works but haven't tried it. all in all a pretty neat looking set. Here are some pics.
