Re Gilfillan 52-A
My uploaded model does not have any identification on it, BUT looks identical to the glass mirror type 52-A.
Also although 100 - 115 volt AC/DC type, the tube line up is 25Y5 (25Z5), 43, 6C6, 6D6 & 6A7 in the chassis.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
I have been uploading many of my Australian and US radios over the past month and have thoroughly enjoyed the time in going through your great Radio Musuem data base of world wide radios.
To date, I have uploaded the exact Model Number of my radios, and upload to the correct page.
Today I have other upload to proceed with, BUT I am not totally sure of the model, as it has no Brand Name or Model No.on the radio or chassis.
It is a 1930's mirror glass radio US 117 volt AC/DC type. I believe it is a Gilfillan and looks exaclty like the Gilfillan 52A type on your page.
BUT my circuit is a 117 volt AC/DC and uses the valve line up 6A7, 6D6, 6C6, 43, 25Z5 (25Y5)
DO you know this radio, OR is it OK to upload to the 52A page?
