6AG5 RF AMP
6J6 OSC/CONV
6AU6 1ST VIF
6AU6 2ND VIF
6AU6 3RD VIF
6AU6 SOUND IF
6T8 DET/AF AMP
6AQ5 AF OUT
6AU6 VID AMP
6AU6 DC REST/SYNC LIM
6SN7 V OSC/V AMP
6W4 DAMPER
1B3 HV RECT
6BG6 H OSC/H OUT
5U4 RECT

PLUS A 12LP4 CRT

The set work OK for the gutless wonder that it is.
Doesn't seem too gutless to me....looks like the only features missing are a seperate horizontal oscillator tube and an agc keying stage (which may not have been in other sets of its age anyway).
