That's an interesting item.  Thanks for posting  it.

That Howard 430 looks great...it's a 1939 set.  Unfortunately,  it is one 
of the
most simple six-tube BC and SW receivers made, lacking an  RF amplifier and 
having
only one IF amplifier.

It surprises  me that it was serviceable for SW broadcasts originating in  
Europe,
presumably *not* being broadcast local to North America by a relay  station.
