Had a look in a couple of places and have contacted HRSA. It's been got at and actually has genuine cloth/tar insulation tape. I can likely fix it as is but it would be handy to have the schematic.

One of those where a permag speaker has been hooked to the audio transformer, which is still on the electro dynamic one. Bobbins good so I removed its assembly from the frame. It can go on the chassis.

Pentagrid octal missing 6U7, 6G8, 6V6, 5Y3 Speaker 8" Amplion Electro Dynamic. Transformer Henderson (not that common) Console but chassis stamped to take a speaker.

It is unlikely that you’ll find a schematic for this model. The only known published Howard schematics were in the 1938 Radio Trade Annual and it is likely the HRSA already have those.

Pre-WW2 Howard models have a three digit model code, with the first digit indicating the year.

619 (5 valve BC console) for instance would indicate a 1936 model, which is a bit early for octals. However, Howard were early adopters of metal octals so it is in the realms of possibilities.

You haven’t mentioned what type of set this is or its estimated era. Pre-war Howard radio’s usually have the model number stamped on the back of the cabinet.

Post war Howard’s up to the mid 50’s were usually radiograms.

I only scored the chassis. The cabinet is in Shepparton I only have a pic of its front. I doubt that this was made for metals as the usually stroppy 6U7 has a can & the one, along with the terminal of the 6G8 is missing.

Whoever did work on it has left the electrolytics under the mounting board & just cut off the wires.one end. It does have pickup terminals.

I will send Brad some pretty pics.

Addendum: Note this chassis is stamped for universal use as either the tall console or a table model. Ie. The mounting frame is already there and you just have to put the speaker in either place (cunning);

But! Re-tooling a brake press, was not cheap.

Owner of this cannot find anything else on it but surprise surprise (not really)

This has to be the same chassis, badge engineered by Regent.

OK! It would appear that its a Howard Sussex 619 1936. Its listed in Mingay's of which I have no copies.
