The plans for this handsome four-tube set appeared sixty years ago this month, in the July 1964 issue of Electronics Illustrated. The four tube (19EA8, 12EQ7, 35DZ8, and 50C4) set was a souped-up version of the “all-American five.” Since two of the tubes were dual tubes, it outperformed five tube sets, since it had separate oscillator and mixer.

It was handsomely built into this book holder, with the radio chassis on one side, and the speaker on the other side.
