[Lowfer] Old, Old Receiver

[Ed Phillips]

What's the tube lineup?  Does indeed sound like a TRF.  I find two 
companies with the same initials: Universal Radio Corporation and United 
Reproducers Corporation but not much other information.  Any further ID 
on the set?  If anyone would know more it would be Alan Douglas but I've 
lost his address - maybe someone else can provide i.
