  The orange license label with the pharse "Plant A, Chicago" indicates that this radio was built by Clinton Mfg. Co. of Chicago.

  The schematic with the 6132 model number may be found on radios with both a high profile cabinet and a low profile cabinet.  The low profile model has different tube placement and differences in the AVC and tone control circuits.  The low profile appears to be the later model since it has the "Enameloid Cloissonette Gold" dial which was introduced during the last year of Clinton radio production.
