The Radiola 17 is an AC set. Socket power as it was called then. Most homes with early AC only had a 20amp circuit run to the house and usually to a ceiling lamp or two. You would screw an Edison plug adaptor in to the socket to power a radio.
I have a Radiola 33 with the original cord, and it is exceptionally long. Long enough to reach the hanging socket coming from the ceiling.
The tube lineup is 71A, 26, 27, 26, 26, 26, 80.
Part of the circuit is a potted filter network. If that has been done, good for you. I think the proper speaker is the 100A.
It is missing it's lamp hood and Radiola Guy has reproductions...just not now. They are almost always missing.
