I have received this radio for restoration. This is a three band radio AM broadcast, Police and Short wave. 6.5” Electrodynamic speaker. ~120 vac. More later. ppinyot.com/Aetna/aetna.htm
I found a matching schematic for the chassis. I looked up Wallgreen Co Aetna model 652 and found Riders 9-1 a perfect schematic to chassis match. This schematic serves models 630, 635 and 652.
The schematic shows a 6B5 audio output tube and a two wire (not tapped) field coil. There is a grid bias cell for the #75 detecor tube as in my chassis. I hope this helps identify this model.
