Just discovered this Radio
Airline/Wards chassis #28 features Push Pull 45 triode tubes
Wonder what year & value ?

1929/30 TRF? Probably not horribly valuble. Depends how much demand there is for that model/style and condition. looks like it's worth restoring.

I just see the big condensor under power cage is made by Kellogg
switchboard Co, Chicago and is date stamped Sept 12 1930

The cabinet has lower deterioration of side veneers due to basement humidity/water damage

But all-triode transformer coupled P/P amplifier is interesting
(like Western Electric 300b design of 1930s)

It doesn't look like the original speaker or tubes. I wonder who built it.

The Speaker seems to have orig mounting footprint & integrated
output transformer
Speaker is Utah of Chicago & Salt Lake City and in pristine condition
looks like it was reconed with special (original type) felt surround and
formica spider

The 45's alone if they're good are worth money. I'd restore it.
