Espey AM/FM Tube Radio Identification
#1

Good morning can anyone help me identify an Espey AM/FM tube radio?

The only identity available is the Espey Branding on the dial glass and An RTMA Code #174 on the tube chassis. There is also a number (possibly a serial) 304067.

It was a replacement or modification for a Philco 42-1012P I recently purchased. My cabinet is beautiful. I love the Philco look. Especially, during the 1940s.

Thank you for any help.

A few pics of the chassis would help sort it.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!

Good morning,

Thank you for response. I tried to post a picture on the original message. I must have done something wrong. I will try again.

Thank you.  Icon_biggrin

Sure looks like an Epsey model 100 from '52.

Thank you! Thank you!

I will now have some sort of starting point.

I send an update when I have changed the wires, caps, and resistors.

I couldn't find any free info on the Epsey but it is listed in Sam's so could be ordered from them.

Thank you for lead. It will cost $15. Well worth it.

Thank you
