Hmm, 1946. This must be one of the first postwar models to use
subminiature tubes.
I'm curious, what is the first consumer radio to use all subminiature
tubes?

ARC Corp. used the sub-miniature tubes extensively in their comm/nav
equipment. The MIL PRC-6 used them as did the RCA SRR-11/12/13 and
FRR-21/22/23 receivers. I still have a small drawer full of them. As I
recall, didn't Motorola also use them extensively in their portable VHF
radio sets as used by FD's, etc?
They were also used in the AN/ARN-21 TACAN sets in aircraft.
