| United Engine was located in Lansing, Michigan. It appears that this radio might have been made for them by Wilcox Labs, which is a predecessor of Wilcox-Gay which was located in Charlotte, Michigan. Appears to be a 1930 model year based on advertisements from the august 1930 issue of Radio Retailing. Tubes are 4 ea 24's, 2 ea 45's, a 27 and a 45. I have no schematic on this radio. The reason I suspect Wilcox as the actual manufacturer is some unsupported information on United's hit and miss engines that speculates that the radios were made by Wilcox-gay and the fact that Wilcox uses very similar speakers and a similarly wired 5-pin speaker connector. It appears to be a TRF with a push pull output. |

The
"Archives" are maintained just for fun by Steve Adams at the Radio
Attic. When cabinet material or color differences are apparent or suspected in donated photos, I have included additional photos of certain model numbers. Due to time constraints, I must rely entirely on the accuracy of information supplied by contributors with their photographs. As such, no guarantee is made that the model numbers presented here are correct. Images may be used
