JVC-Delmonico AM/FM stereo tube radio

I think a single 35W4 would be just at or possibly past maximum ratings, supplying B+ to two power amplifiers and all those other tubes. This being a stereo radio it'll need twice as much current as an ordinary radio, and the 35W4 isn't an extremely robust tube to begin with, so maybe it's reliability?

Nice radio! One of my first posts on VK was regarding this very model. There are some of these still around just waiting to be discovered.

BTW: These JVC-made Delmonico tube stereo radios were still being made as late as 1968, with cosmetic design changes of course. Later models saw the side speaker doors eliminated.
