This is a typical 5 tube chassis that takes miniature tubes:
This is a view from the back with the antenna taken off. The tuning capacitor is on the left. The dial lamp is above it. The two wires sticking up on the right connect to a speaker. To the right and left of the tuning capacitor are I. F. (intermediate Frequency) transformers.
