Hi all. I have acquired about two dozen old receivers, mostly older Hallicrafters.

But one radio that I have a particular interest in is the Firestone Air Chief R-1661. My mother owned one and I kept it after she passed away. That particular radio is stored in my garage.

I have since bought two other R-1661s and just started testing tubes today. I looked at the schematic posted here and immediately ran into a snafu. The tube in the schematic is a 6F5. But the tube in the radio is a 6Q7 two obviously different tubes.

There is a note on the page that reads: Note: There are a few minor production changes noted on the Riders schematic (Page FIRESTONE 7-3) for receivers with serial numbers 453,400 and above. (Note again: I added the FIRESTONE to the page name.)

So I looked at that page. It looks just like the schematic posted on Radiomuseum. It does not have a 6Q7 tube in the schematic.

I am now assuming I have an earlier model of the R-1661. Or do I?

Here are some pics.
