I think you are going to be right unka Sandy!! I have been finding myself looking at all of the wonderful links provided here. I have a few questions for you radio guys. Is there alot of activity on the short band dial? I've seen the antenna inside this radio and I'm wondering if I'll will need an external antenna to get the most out of the short wave?

6-s-632

Thanks in advance...

The first number (6) is the number of tubes, the letter (S) indicates 110VAC, broadcast, police and shortwave bands, the first of the last digits indicate model year (6 = 1942) and the last two digits indicate the cabinet style (32 = table model).

I snagged a cute little "World" cathedral at the show.

Chimes,
I really appreciate you taking the time to decipher this serial #. I also appreciate the link you provided. Are you from the Denver metro area, or close to it? Thanks
