Are you sure your 1939 Audels wasn't a reprint of a 1929 Audels?
- There were lots of miniature (battery radio) tubes in 1939.
- Lots of amps were better than that.
- There was FM broadcasting at least around NYC.
- The superhetrodyne was king, not the regenerZator.
- One piece car radios <were> common. There was one in our '41
  Plymouth, and one in our '36 Studebaker.
 
I don't want to brag, but I ought to know as I put in a lot of time,
back then. Years and years, in fact. Why, I was 9 years old in 1939.
I must admit to only having my first paying radio shop job in 1947.
