It would be nice to get numbers from the valves one is a 24 heater type.

The plates may give a clue, but one needs to read them, rather than have them incinerated by the flash. Loftin White was more famous for an amplifier

I would say mid 30's & thats a Philips "P" type thats missing.

Smells of some one messing with it. The 24 with those numbers would pre-date the numbering system change around 1930.

In a set of that age the rectifier albeit electrically the same thing should be a UX4 based 280 (80) 5Y3 is an octal and I would not expect one of those until we get closer to the forties.

Have any of the plates got a model number? Patent numbers can also be a clue.

Marc
