Yep, looks like the "Double-first cousin" to the 3-tuber Arvin I have-which has conveniently lost its paper tags, so I can't tell which model it is. Don't expect R-390A DXing performance from this l'il guy-But enjoy it for what it is-a relic from long ago. They were designed to be able to pick up local AM stations as cheaply as was possible given the technology of 1938 or so-and they did.
