Hi;

I've just picked up a 1935 model (judging from the ARTS&P label on the back) Reliance console radio, made here in Sydney I believe. I'm going to restore it and was wondering if anyone has any Reliance schematics of any sort as an aid to getting me started.

This is my first restoration job (haven't played with valve sets since I was a kid so I've got to relearn everything) and there are a few valves in the chassis that I can't identify, mainly because they have no numbers and I'm a virgin, so any help is appreciated.
