G'day GTC,

He's got it in the subject field, although probably not always easy to notice - Radiola 527MA.

Sent you an email!

I had just finished doing up mine and have re done the lettering a bit on the diagram. Its 99% correct. Just a few caps in the front end are the wrong numbers from memory, if you change them one at a time then it shouldnt be a problem.

You will need to replace the micas especially C16 and C 17. (Around the 6AR7GT) this gave me all sorts of problems with spiking in the audio.

If you cant work out a value then just ask me and I will pull out my chassis and have a look for you.

Thanks, the radio is now fully functional, And works great, I found that the Pick Up input works as an Ipod input Smile If hooked up correctly, the sound is actually quite good

These AWA sets sound good because of the size of the speaker and the case. I have mine as an every day use radio at the moment. I just need knobs to suit for mine.
