I am about to give up identifying this radio. I have had it for several
years and have not ever seen another like it. It has no name or model on it.
The two tags on the rear only list patent numbers. I have looked in Riders 1
thru 14, Sams, and Beitman with no luck. I have also searched Ebay many
times as well as other sites on the net without success. The radio is a
superhet with the following tube line up: 6A7 converter, 6K7 IF amp, 6H6
detector, 6F5 first audio, Two 42's in parallel as audio outputs and 80
rectifier. The closest thing that I found was a sears 7171 in Riders 10-95.
The chassis layout for the 7171 is almost identical but with one less 42 and
a different IF amp. Sears didn't build their own sets and I would almost bet
that whoever built the 7171 also built the radio that I have.

Thanks in advance for any and all comments and info.

We don't do yEnc here.

Many, many people do yEnc, Ken. It shouldn't be hard to find software
which decodes it effortlessly. I use MT-Newswatcher on a Macintosh but
could use a number of other newsreaders and decode yEnc with no problem.
Given that there is so much more software available for PCs, there
shouldn't be any difficulty finding a newsreader that will decode it.
Forte Agent probably does.

Ken,
Here is a jpg of it.

Just post the danged .JPG. That's what your digi-cam (or cell phone camera,
etc.) probably creates in the first place.

If you're posting to an international newsgroup, you want to make things as
simple as possible for the widest possible audience.

There may be someone out there who can instantly identify this radio, but
who doesn't want to piddle around with changing newsreaders, downloading
conversion software, etc., just to view one photo.

Thanks, Sal!

The point is that yEnc is not a standard. It is only a defacto standard. I
was able to view the original post because I spent some effort a while ago
to find an add in for outlook express. It wasn't a fun experience. The
smaller transfer size offered by yEnc isn't significant in my oppinion,
especially with HS internet. Frequenters of this NG typically don't want to
fuss with gimmicky free software. We just want to click and view.

Folks,
I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my email program and newsgroup reader which
incidentally decoded the yenc photo that was posted here without any
problems.

Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

Here it is hopefully in UU-encoding.

My last experience with Mozilla was not a good one!

It wouldn't accept a whole host of plugins I rely on and when I tried to
uninstall it, it messed up so many settings I had to run system restore to
clean up the mess!
