Hi There - Hope I'm in the right section for this. I'm looking for someone to repair an old AWA Stereophonic Radiola (will post a pic to admin though I'm fairly certain it's a B20 model). I have been able to source the specs for these.
I don't think there's much wrong - the radio part lights up ok - think it's one valve and a wire to one speaker.

Would love to get this working as it's awesome sound quality (as you all would know).

Someone in the Central West would be awesome though I do get to Sydney occasionally.
All the Very Best

Tony

Hi Tony
Im not familiar with the B20. Is it a console or mantle.
Whats the fault, or do you just want it given a once over?

Im in Tamworth, I may be a bit far away, but I'm happy to look at it for you if you cant find anyone closer.

cheers
ben

Thanks Ben

It's described as a radiolagram - radio plus record player.

It's not working. When I first got it the radio worked fine but would fade to off over time (why I think a valve has gone but I'm an absolute novice).

Thank you for your offer of help - will most likely take you up on it if I can't find someone a bit more local

All The Very Best

Tony
