I picked this up last month .It is a Sparton model 811. Now It has been recapped and plays real good with a clear sound..One of the best sounding radios I have...It has 11 tubes with push pull 42's.. The eye tube cover is the same as another Sparton I had that used a visi glow eye tube,but I never could find one..

I have installed a phone jack so I can play
an MP3 player through it.. When it gets warmer I have to do the cabinet.
