The following information is from my own 1928 Brunswick model 5KR Radio + Speaker. It looks like a RCA Radiola 17 or 18 in apperance & layout but has a much lighter finish to the wood. It contains 4 # 26 tubes, 1 # 27 tube, 1 # 71A tube, & a 80 Rectifier tube.
The size of this radio is: 27 inches wide by 9 1/2 inches tall by 8 3/8 inches deep.
My speaker which also has clearly written on it "Brunswick"(written on back)
has dimensions of 12 inches tall by 15 inches wide by 6 1/4 inches deep.
I intend to add info to this model page with 2 pictures of the radio & 2 pictures of the speaker.
