Hi Group:

Ah, the "All American Five". As a collector (also) of old radios,
I have the standard tube lineup for this at home, and could supply scanned
diagrams if anyone's interested.

It was an AC/DC type of set that it was very easily to electrocute
yourself on as it lacked any sort of power transformer and fuse. Ah, the
good old days!

See http://antiqueradios.com/chrs/journal/aa5.html for an article on the
set.
