Hi Roy,

I think I've narrowed it down to either a Halson MG5 or an Air King 155, 165, or 1005. All have the 6K7, 6J7, 25Z5, and 43 tubes. They list the 55A1 or 5541 ballast tube, but for all I know, the 50A2 might have been a filler or a sub. I'm leaning towards the Air King due to the two globes with the TX antenna's on the dial, very similar to some of the other Air King's. Good luck, and don't forget pictures of the finished product!
