That same basic chassis was used under a million different brands, in several case styles and colors. They were offered from the late '50's until the mid-'60's and usually cost under $10 when new. I recently fixed one for a friend that used disc capacitors except for the "across the line" AC capacitor; which, was a paper capacitor and had blown apart. Before using this radio, I'd strongly suggest replacing that capacitor with a modern AC safety (X or Y) capacitor.
