The radio was an AM only, mono, of course. The radio receiver section used a 12AU6 autodyne convertor, one IF transformer with a crystal diode detector.
The amplifier section used a 12AX7 and two 50C5's or 50EH5's, for stereo phono playback. Controls were radio-phono selector, tone control, volume-on-off and a knob for the direct drive tuner, like any other inexpensive radio.
The only reason, I remember it so well, is I had one from a scrap set.
IIRC, they all had a silicon rectifier, for the power supply and AA5 type output transformers.
