The Autocrat 4-Z is an AC/DC operated 4 tube BC band receiver. The BC band frequency tuning range is 550 - 1750 kHz.
This model looks very similar to the Century 47 model. The cabinet and chassis look the same. According to Mallory-Yaxley references, model 4-Z with this same tube lineup was available from the Simplex Radio Company and also by Zephyr Radio Company.
