From Ray Moore's "Communications Receivers".
Sorta sounds like the "All Wave 12" from 1937. It was a kit with a
pre-wired tuning assembly. Oval dial.
Difference is it only has 12 tubes!! Push-pull 6L6 AF out.
There is also a "14-5" with 14 tubes, P-P 6L6's AF, but the dial (in an
oblique photo) looks to be round.
Nothing in FBTO or Riders.
