Hello dear collectors and radio friends,

I try to find the model of this beautiful Setchell Carlson:



I need to find also a picture to find the model of the missing knobs and the schematics to find the missing tubes!



Thanks in advance for any help!

all the best,

Vitor

Dear Vitor
It might be better to put in a model unknown to the maker and to give the tubes which you know, frequencies, measurements, power etc.
The chance is then much better to get an answer.

Hello,

Thanks for try help me.
The Setchell Carlson have 5 tubes (4 tubes with 8 pin and one with 6 pin) and I have only 2 (one IC7G, maybe 1C7G?!, and one 1J6G), I cannot read very well the numbers... so I need to know the other 3 tubes missing.
The radio is battery powered, you can see in the photos the plugs.
I send here some scanner photos:

Thank you very much for your time and help,

all the best,

My best educated guess:

The only trace I found could be either a 23 or a 63 of 1939 in Slusser: Collectors Guide to Antique Radios. Battery tombstone.

A possible tube complement using 2volt tubes could be:

1N5   RF stage
1C7G   oscillator/mixer
1N5 or 1E5   IF stage
1F6   demod and 1st AF (6 pins)
1J6G   2nd AF (push pull)
