I have just acquired this rather tidy 5 valve radio but it is devoid of any identification at all. Valves are: 6A7, 6D6, 75, 42, 80. - nothing unusual there. The chassis is painted & the valve sockets are screwed in. Valve shields are the Goat type. The tuning gang is 3 section with the middle section connecting to a separate winding on the aerial coil. Speaker is 6 inch EM. The grid cap connection to the 6A7 comes from within the aerial can at the top, and the wire to the tuning gang also comes out the top of the can. Both are connected together inside the can. The dial mechanism is very smooth & precise. There is a date of 7th Sept 1937 stamped on the inside of the chassis. I have an earlier Viking that has some similar features notably the 2 wires from the top of the aerial coil can to the 6A7 & tuning gang. IF cans are very similar.
