Hmm, 1946. This must be one of the first postwar models to use
subminiature tubes.

I'm curious, what is the first consumer radio to use all subminiature
tubes?

RCA BP-10 ?

ARC Corp. used the sub-miniature tubes extensively in their comm/nav
equipment. The MIL PRC-6 used them as did the RCA SRR-11/12/13 and
FRR-21/22/23 receivers. I still have a small drawer full of them. As I
recall, didn't Motorola also use them extensively in their portable VHF
radio sets as used by FD's, etc?
