Sentinel 309-R, 1947

Tube complement: 12BE6 mixer/oscillator, 12BA6 IF, 12AT6 detector, 50B5 AF output, 35W4 rectifier.

These radios are only 7-3/4 inches (197 mm) wide. The cabinet of the 309-R above is of unpainted dark-red Plaskon. The 309-W below is of unpainted (of course) brown Bakelite. So long as you're here, take a look at those cute molded plastic dial pointers.
