Got a Tecnico 1050 radio.

Like this one

http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/tecnico_aristocrat_1050.html.

If anyone have the circuits for it and could email it to me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Got the schematics from GTC, thanks.

However, I have another related question.

There are no voltages for plate and grid, how can I figure out the correct ones?

I don't have the voltage table for that model. As a guide, I'd look up the characteristics for each valve.

One source is Frank's pages:

I suppose when working with older radios, it is normal to have less info available.

Just need more investigation.

Depends on what the various manufacturers made available for their models. Some schematics and associated service notes are very detailed. Others less so.

The choke is rated as 14H 60mA, does this means the total HT current draw should be less than 60mA?

The specs for a choke coil normally include the max DC current permissible. In your case it's 60mA.

Check the valves data sheet, the total current draw of the first three valves is about 25mA, so that's only 35mA left for the 6V6. According to its data sheet, it need to work at 180V to use 35mA.

So I guess the HT should be about 180v.

Sounds a bit low, what am I missing here?

The R9 is 15 ohm and I think it is the back bias resistor for the first three valves. 60mA will only give about 0.9v bias, also a bit low?
