Would anyone have a service manual for a Ferris Super 8 and De Luxe 9 Portable Car Radio? I do apologise, they only have metric valves in them.

I do have to ask? What is a metric valve? Tasma used a lot of European numbered valves I have Breville here (1949) that has been built for an ECH35, which is similar to a 6J8. Oscilloscope specifies EZ80 as a rectifier ... that's a 6V4 and the one in there is labled both. I have refurbished a 1949 Style 240V~ / 12V Ferris lately which needs a new speaker. I would like to track down a circuit / info for that as well. Despite it now working. Marc

Little Nipper, I am no expert but have some familiarity with similar circuits eg I got a 242 Ferris (transistors) up and running after it had been 'butchered' by others. Does transisitor = metric valve????? Ian ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ Cheers, Ian

G'day Marc, have refurbished a 1949 Style 240V~ / 12V Ferris lately which needs a new speaker. Marc> Do you have the model number? I have most of the Ferris schematics. Cheers, Graham...

I sent it home temporarily as the collector want's to clean up the case. I will likely still have to make some plugs to fit those fuse type sockets. One of us will contact the other as I have paperwork for him and I will, aquire the numbers. The speaker is a case of: "This is what happens when it is pointed upwards" All the dust ends up around the voice coil and water distorts the cone. Marc
