I have a Philco model 643 that uses a 1A1 four prong regulator tube. It has an empty socket marked 1A1, that has a metal jumper in the socket, that originally came with the set. Evidently, the set was always used with a 2 volt wet cell.
There has been a whole range of 1-1 tubes of this type 1A1, B,C, etc.
