Mr Kramer,
I apologize for replying in English. . .my understanding of the Dutch language is quite basic. I believe as you concerning the exact tube configuration - except that I had presumed the CL4 output pentode from seeing a few of the other European made radios. However, I believed that when the radio was produced (sometime just after early 1940) that it is most likey the production facility in Argentina - if that is accurate - would have used the Philips CL1 tube - not the Telefunken introduced CL4.
I have already purchased 2 CL4 tubes and some of the others. I will await further comments from the members of the forum.
I also agree with the asbestos shield and the dangers of the "hot chassis"!! And I am still trying to locate a C8 current regulator tube. Or, I ask if the radio can operated with a C9 regulator (for 115V) in the USA.
One other item I would like to introduce to the forum. . . .the 2-gang tuning condenser is stamped on the side "Federal Instrument Corporation, Brooklyn, NY USA. patent pending"Vriendelijke Groeten,
Robert
