It looks like a Wells-Gardner-built chassis. A 6AQ5 is the seven-pin equivalent of a 6V6, so should be good for about five watts. I wonder if there is a Truetone cousin for that model built. Nice little rig.....

It kind of reminds me of a Philco my Grandparents had when I was young. Is that an early VM changer?
