Well, I don't know, for sure. Is that an R-274D/FRR? Made by Hallicrafter? I was basing the place of Origin on the Phila after the order number, and the year built by the 49. My besdt guess would be, that your receiver was built on the 3rd week of July, in 1949. But, as I said - that's a guess. I'm hoping someone here KNOWS. 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR
