My Christmas Present - 118MX
#7

It looks like there are two tubes in the blurred lower right-hand corner of the location chart. If these are a pair of 42's driven class-B by a third, triode-connected 42, the radio will sound great from a mile away. I know because, in 1958, I bought one much like it, for $2 from the big Minneapolis Salvation Army Store. I replaced electrolytic caps and sold it to my farming uncle for use in the barn. It could be heard over the noise of the milking machine not only in his barn but in barn of his neighbor on the other side of the valley.

The Salvation Army changed my life!
