Anyone have any information/schematic for a Freed 28?

Is the chassis blue by any chance? If it is, and based on the number of ballasts that falsely inflates the tube count, I'm guessing it's a rebadged International Kadette.

Yeah, I posted this to both forums at the same time. One of the guys over there suggested that it might be the same as the Freed 30D - which is on NostalgiaAir. It certainly seems to be the same set, judging by the tube lineup. I pulled the chassis from mine, and I can see that it has been serviced a couple times in the past. The line cord was replaced, as were several capacitors. Probably some time in the 50's or 60's. I'll have to go through things carefully, but it looks pretty similar to the 30D on NostalgiaAir.

Also note that the schematic calls this a "10 Tube - 2 Band AC-DC Superhetrodyne Receiver". Which is technically correct - if you overlook the fact that four tubes are resistors in tube-like packages, and one is a tuning eye. So it's just a five tube set. With flair.
