The radio had a failed (non-original) power transformer. I could not find an original transformer but I did find one that would work. It was made by Allied Radio Corp. The identifier for it reads: PT. #02-x34 where the "x" could be a 9 or an 8 or a 5.
The Table of Voltages has at least one error. Pin 5 on tube 6F6 should be about -16vdc.
This radio does not use Automatic Volume Control (AVC).
