This particular style of cabinet is fitted with a 5 tube battery
powered chassis but Wilson also offered a 5 tube, 6 tube, 7 tube, 9
tube AC chassis and a 6 tube, 6 volt, battery/vibrator
chassis. The arched wooden piece of wood just above the dial was
designed to accommodate a tuning eye with certain chassis. The
chassis was assembled at the Wilson factory and the cabinet was
manufactured by Jenkins Cabinets of Indianapolis. Today, this
cabinet style is the most common Wilson table model to be found.
I purchased this set in the fall of 1993 from Schott Auction Gallery in
Alexandria, Indiana.

This tag was hand typed on a type writer and glued onto the
chassis. It shows the model # (25SV) which stands for a 5 tube
radio whose tube filaments run off of a 2 volt storage battery.
The serial number 535I83 refers to the date of manufacture, May of
1935, as stated by the first three digits but it's not clear what the
I82 stands for.
