Super. Keven Chants site doesn't have much for GE.
Yes the 6V4 was used as I had some spare at the time of testing, but is pushed to or over its peak current spec limits if both channels were tested with continuous signals. I will try and locate the one 6CA4 I think I now have, as that does cover the likely worst-case loading using PSUD2. The PT heater winding is getting off lightly as the redio/preamp section is not being powered.

Yes Pete,
That one is the 1968 to 1975 model Scandia RSC1.

GE was the needle in a haystack search term I needed
Strikes me as very strange that yours doesn't have 'General Electric' and/or its logo anywhere on it.

Hmm see what I mean about black and silver!
I'm not sure what your plans are regarding your chassis as you have no cabinet.
But you will be able to sell it easy as a restored chassis...lots of these units are in demand.
All the best and good luck with it.
Pete

I should of mentioned two posts ago that Trobbins chassis comes out a Granville Model RS8V1. The only picture of it I can find so far is of very poor quality.
The Multisonics one is a Ranger Model 111S & is solid-state.

The 'ripped' assembly was cheap and nearby on ebay about 6 years ago, so I got it to check out the amp chassis as it looked like it had potential and was 'Australian'. I restored just the amp chassis to suit as a guitar amp, as an example of what the 6DX8 could achieve in overdrive, as there is always an aussie DIY interest in what can be cobbled together from cheap and local parts. The joy is in the journey, and even after 6 years there is still some miles in it (so to speak)!
I made a schematic of the original amp chassis, although it would always be nice to find a service schematic some day just to round off that part of the journey, or even a product brochure.
I still have the front fascia chassis, so happy to hand that over gratis to anyone with a restoration need in the decades to come, although given it wasn't a common model it could be a rare request.

Monochrome.
No I don't know the model and I don't think I've come across one in all these years .
It must of been not very popular at the time as most I've seen before. Anyway we got there in the end and found what unit it came from and it kept us all busy haha

Thanx so much for the schematic and model RS8V1C identification. The only running update on my amp chassis is an added 250pF feedback cap, presumably for enhanced stability margin.
I'll have to get an AVO-8 now to confirm the voltages
PS. The radiomuseum website has the model listed as Granville RS8V1.

Shouldn't be too hard to get one locally for just a few dollars. I have seem them go cheaply at Sydney HRSA auctions -- where vintage test gear is not usually very popular. The problem these days is the special 15 volt battery for the ohms x 100 range.
Avo and Taylor meters were the standards back when I was doing my training. They were considered to be student proof.

Yes the schematic shows V8 as a 6CA4. Wise....
