Many of the Wells-Gardner built radios from the mid to later 30's were among some of the finest made at the time. Their high tube count radios were more impressive than the Zenith and RCA's of the time.
Chromed chassis and two large speakers, variable IF band-pass.
The largest models used PP 6L6's, the smaller models used 6F6's with a triode connected 6F6 as a driver stage, two stages of IF's etc.
