Hi Everyone,

I have recently acquired a Pilot Wasp Radio and I cannot seem to identify which model it is exactly. I think it may be a combination of several models.

It operates from 240V AC and has a filter power supply using an 80 rectifier.

The Valve lineup is 39 36 76 41 80.

It also came with a box of plugin coils.

Any help will be greatly apreciated.

The pictures of the radio are attached.
