Thank you ALL for answering my post. What a helpful forum! I believe you are right on the money. My set closely resembles the 16" console model on the brochure. Mine has what they called a "blond" finish in the late 40's & early 50's. I guess Dad had written the right model # after all. I am going to try to attach a couple of photos and hope it works.
I am so thankful for the assistance. I had spent hours entering numbers on search engines with no results!
I will be back to this forum, for sure. You see, these old radios and tv's are only the "tip of the iceberg". I have mountains of tubes and all sorts of other parts. I hope to get many of the items catalogued this winter, then will be seeking suggestions as to how to liquidate them. When my dad retired, he just put an ad in the paper and closed his door on a certain day and that was it
I knew I would probably have a big job some day, but I couldn't seem to bring it up with Dad, and he didn't seem to want to talk about it either. I guess I just couldn't think about him not being here any more. I thought he would probably outlive me! He died suddenly at 93 1/2 years old in March 2009. My dad was also a ham radio operator which adds yet more electronics. Also a special thanks for letting me know not to plug these old things in. I'll remember that! Thank you and God Bless each and every one of you...
