> The 36 uses a model 33 or 49 cabinet; the 30 is too small. You can always recognize a 33 or 49  since they have that little knob on the left end of the front panel.  The 36 is just an updated 33.

Also, the early version front panel looks identical to all previous battery sets with the exception of a toggle switch located below the two rheostats on the front panel bakelite rheostat assembly.  Later versions have the toggle switch on the metal front panel and a single knob for volume on an otherwise blank piece of bakelite .
