    This model has 5 vacuum tubes. The  frequency tuning is accompished by tuning slugs rather than capacitors.  This model is not found in Riders Perpetual Troubleshoot's manual although similar to the All American Five design.

    This chassis is similar to the L5 model. The tuning section is labeled as "permeability tuning". The 50L6 tube final may be a better choice with higher line voltages. Operation requires pushing the plunger after coin insertion to activate the timer.
