Is this really a Trans-Aire Electronics, Model Saxony?

Hi,
I need your help!

This little tube radio, a portable, is going to make me questions!

- Is it what it seems to be? I got it free from a belgian attic, where I bought a vintage TV.
Btw., it is a 4 tubes set!

- What is the model number?

- Does anybody have a schematic/alignment instruction for me?

- Who can give me the right dimensions for the B-battery (67 V - have to build a converter with that size!)?

- What year is it?

- Why can I find nothing on it in the internet?

- Where are the 2 red points good for on the scale?

The schematic in the back is not complete!
On RM.org are only transistor radios of that company listed!

Many thanks in advance!

Regards,
TV-collector

It it were an American model, the red dots could be the CONELRAD civil defense frequencies, 640 and 1240.

Ditto
The set has a US or western looking build to it. Not asian. May have
been an export model so the CONELRAD markings. This may help

To me it looks like a Japanese built set marketed to the US. The tubes are "Ten" brand which was Japanese, and I have seen other portables like this that were made in Japan. Are there any brand names on the mica capacitors and other components?
