cisco, Nice set even without the dial cover. It was made around 1938 or 1939 (the bakelite type came a little later) and is a variation of the 542 model of 1939. You have a piece of paper or plastic covering the lower left part of the chassis in the back. That is usually where the numbers are. If it has a number stamped on it in the 500s then that's your model number. It's a little rough but not beyond fixing. Plugs are about the easiest things to replace but should be done by a professional so they can add a couple of safety features to keep you from getting hurt if you should touch the wrong part of the back.
