"The Complete Price Guide To Antique Radios: Pre-War Consoles" by Stein shows three Autocrat consoles c. 1936 ranging in
price from $75 to $300.

Rider's lists a 5 tube set, Model 505 with a line up of 6A7, 6D6, 75, 41 and 84 in Vol. VII.   A chassis diagram is shown,
but no mention of a cabinet type.   Volume 7 is circa 1936.  None of the consoles shown in Stein have the 505 model number,
but one is listed as a 5D, a 5 tube set, single band.
