The radio is made by Sonora for Wards, circa 1954/55. I still have one somewhere. I even had one with the Sonora branding.
Regarding to 1R5 sub, it didn't work in some sets, as there is two common pins on a 1R5, that the 1L6 doesn't???? Someone stated that, ages ago,I never tried it. They stated that you had to clip that pin off the tube.
Zenith made a plastic AM/single SW band set that used a 1L6, and it unlike the Transoceanics will NOT work with a 1R5 sub....IIRC the heater wiring is shorted with the 1R5.
