Radios made in and for foreign lands. Not radios
made in foreign lands for the American market, but for
domestic markets in foreign countries.

Mainland China:
Tube lineup: 6A2
pentagrid converter (similar to a 6BE6), 6K4
IF amp remote cutoff pentode,
6N2 twin triode used as
a detector and first audio,
6P1
audio output,
EM80 eye tube(6E1), and 6Z4
double anode kenotron (rectifier).
Diagram: Tube numbers mostly match, the
EM80 appears to be a replacement of a 6E1. Someone had shorted two of the three
caps across the oscillator coils to disable SW reception. So the
owner wouldn't hear the lies from America?

A Philco radio from New Zealand: Model 401 "The Miget" from 1953.
Like Australian radios, this one has radio station callsigns on the dial (#xx format).
Runs on 240VAC, has a power transformer, uses 4 tubes: ECH42, EAF42, EL41 and EZ40.
Here's a picture of this radio's power (mains) plug. A 'tap on' plug. Looks like they anticipate a shortage of outlets in homes in New Zealand, so the radio plug allows the user to plug in piggyback whatever gets displaced by the radio's power plug.
