Thanks for all the interest in the receiver. There is a bit more of a write up on it here.

It seems it was manufactured by Philco of all people. although it's old and limited in band coverage, when I did some checks on it it had a sensitivity of about 1uV on AM and abou 0.3uV CW. The other noticable thing about it is the lack of background noise comared to some modern day receivers.
