It's a nice general purpose receiver.

It is a nice receiver! A lot better than their later SWL receivers.
The S19R was the last one produced before the start of the war.
Riders shows grid cap tubes, where my two examples have a 6SK7 and a 6SQ7 but it still uses a 6K8 osc & mixer tube. It has a 41, 76 and an 80 rectifier.
It adds to the interest.
