If that is the model than it is really going to be something! 4 6L6 output tubes (likely in push-pull-parallel) like my 1946 Magnavox, and a total of 22 tubes should make for a really hot receiver with good POWERFUL audio.

The down side if it is a 1942 model is the possibility of only having the pre-war FM (FM really changed freqs in 1941 because of TV taking over it's old spectrum). There are ways of getting pre-war FM sets to work (some good threads here about that too), but it can be a hassle.
