G'day folks. At a recent HRSA auction I picked up the remains of a National D791/32 32 Volt mantle radio. Someone has started to convert it to a 240 Volt set but they thank goodness they have not progressed very far. The RF and IF sections are intact as they used 6.3 Volt valves but they have chopped out the audio stages and removed the dial drive mechanism.
Have a look at the set on my web site, I am looking for a circuit diagram and a dial drive mechanism.
