Hi all, I've started working on a radio that's clearly labelled State on the front but when I search using the model number on the chassis 618R it comes up as a Cromwell with the same looking cabinet but a different valve line up. The valve line up in my radio is the same as a State 61R7. Just curious about it
Regards
Wayne
