I contacted detrola to find out if it was thier radio, I got this in return:
Quote from Dennis:
Definitely not a Detrola. The 25- at the beginning of the serial number on the metal patent tag indicates that it was a product of the Pacific radio company, one of the small Chicago-based independents. Many of their sets have no published service information, but you can try taking the tube lineup and comparing it to the various schematics in Rider manuals on Nostalgia Air under Pacific. Should be able to come up with something close enough to work from.
The biggest problem is that Pacific built most of their radios for private brands, like the Knight brand sold by Allied Radio, or the Aetna brand sold by Walgreen Drugs just to name two. So the service information may not even be listed under Pacific if that set wasn't sold under their own trade name, which further complicates the search.
Good luck!
