I'm trying to ID the following radio. It receives AM/SW and has the following 6 tubes: 12SQ7, 12SK7, 12SA7, 35Z5GT, 12J5GT and an unknown tube.(The number has been rubbed off) It has the serial number 772265 and the number 4650 or 465O on a sticker on the back of the chassis. I've checked several times and there is no further ID info on the chassis or cabnet. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

looks like a Sears, and the missing tube is probably a 35L6

Ok..thanks! At least it's a place to start looking.

This looks very similar to an RCA 10X that i have. But it is AM only. The position of the tuning cap, dial stringing and the speaker are identical.
The whole back row of tubes and coils is the same except for one tube. Pic of 10X from radiomuseum.com

Oh wow! I have the same radio, and have been trying to identify it for about a year. I need to re-string the tuner. The radio plays, but very weakly on am and sw. The missing tube is a 12J5. Mine has a different style wooden cabinet.
