My new Westinghouse radio

I got this from a estate sale from the house its was sitting in since new. A bonus with this radio is that the last owner kept it repaired and still works great but with a little hum. On the bottom is a date of 12-5-1946.

Very interesting how many postwar models still used wood. I never saw a Westy like that and they were made upstate here. What tubes does it use?

The radio looks like a pre-war model. Their pre-war models were made by several manufacturers. This one looks, like it could be an RCA built set.
If the original poster would include a model number, it could be looked up in Riders.
Once, Westinghouse was broke up with GE and RCA, they seemed to contract with other firms to build their products.

Perhaps the availability of petroleum and coal were too limited to justify using plastic? Steel was in short supply too.
