    The same schematic for this model is also used for the following models:

    Model Type
    Airline 93WG-565A Radio
    Airline 93WG-2208A Radio/Phonograph
    Airline 93WG-2565A Radio

    This model was built for Montgomery Ward by the Wells Gardner Co, Chicago, ILL.

    NOTE: Starting in 1939, Montgomery Ward began adding the production series in the model number, with the letter "A" in the model number indicating the first production series.  Other service documentation (such as Riders) did not consistantly use the "A" in the model number when referring to the first production series models. However models without the "A" at the end of the model number are the same as the models with the "A".
