I'm in the middle of restoring the above model but have hit a snag where I need the circuit diagram. I have an R242 which is close but not the same. Would anyone have a copy they could send me, I'd be happy to pay for any costs involved.
Regards
Rudolf

Unfortunately, I don't have that particular model listed in my set of schematics.

Have you tried the HRSA QLD?

What is in it in the way of valves? I have info on an R301A & that one sounds pre AORSM's

I might have the valve line up & Vintage?

"Superhet with RF-stage; IF-Freq 465 kHz; 2 AF stage(s)

Two RF amplifiers used only on highest band 16.7 to 37.5 m. Otherwise only one is used."

I have tried HRSA ( Warwick Woods)- HWS of SE QLD- Kevin Chant- Stuart Irwin- OZ- wireless and Vintage Radio.

It is very similar to the R242 but slightly different enough for me to ask for a circuit. R242 is on Kevin web site.
R242 is also the same as Bandmaster 475.

R301A also used the extra amplifier. I have a circuit for that one (& a few others) and its variants. It has a bandpass filter as IF1 (2 cans) an RF choke from memory, on the 6B7 and delayed AGC.

3 bands Circuit drawn 1934
