I have recently gotten a WW II Japanese transceiver about which nothing
is known. I have been trying to trace out the schematics. The set makes
use of 1930 vintage tubes, receiver uses Type 32, 30 and Type 33.

The transmitter uses two Type 33 tubes, which seem to be in parallel
with both grids and plates connected. The plates are also connected to a
tube which is labeled in Japanese as Oscillator but no number is given.

any one have any thoughts on what type it could be?  It is a five base,
similar to a Type 33 but seems to have a different tube base pin out.

Thanks for any help.
