Hi Dave,
I have a 5T7, a very similar radio; only the finish is different. The chassis for the 5T6, 5T7 and 5T8 are the same. The knobs and finish on my set are original. I will try to post a pic by tomorrow evening.
Here is the Schematic, courtesy of Nostalgia Air
Here is a pic from RadioAttic Archives. The knob positions are correct. The tenite dial escutcheon in the pic is missing. Yours is correct.
I will try to get you a closeup pic of mine, showing the decals for volume, tuning, tone and band. This is a good and good sounding radio. The original tubes are the RCA / GE "metal" tubes for all tubes in the set. This radio is ca 1936 and represents a modern circuit that underwent very few changes from this point up to the 50s, other than the basing of tubes.
