Hi guys, I recently acquired an old Kriesler radio (working) and a Pye record player, does anyone know of any schematics for these? I will try to look up the model No. later on, unless these pics can help. Thanks.

Hi, I think this is the radio: http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/Kriesler_11_81.html Keven Chant has the manual: http://www.kevinchant.com/uploads/7/1/0/8/7108231/11-81.pdf Cheers, Gary

The 4 valve Kriesler 11-80 & the 5 valve 11-81 were both known as the Kriesler Panoramic. The Panoramic was a bit of a Kriesler mainstay and was manufactured right through the 1960's. http://messui.the-chronicles.org/valves/SC199708.pdf The record player is a Pye Minigram, Model AML. The AML circuit is based on the Astor Microgram, Model ML, with some minor changes. Pye Minigram AML Service Manual

The top radio is most certainly a 11-81, one of the most common of old radios to be found. I have 4 of them in different colours (white, brown, custard, light blue) and there's probably others too. The 11-81 (or 11-81A) is a good performer. The main problem is the knobs which break easily.
