T-240D maybe

Yes, yellow Robyn T-240D Executive. It is an AM base or mobile tube radio made by Sanyo I believe. Could you imagine it in a mobile? I have one, I should get it off the shelf and plug it in. The unit on the bottom looks like an amplifier.

A little photo enhancement brings the bottom radio the revealing clue. It's a Globe Cheif CW ham transmitter. As I remember, they were notorious for producing second harmonics, giving many new novice hams headaches with TVI and OO warnings.
