There is a 90E/C81 AWA Duoforte Radiogram from 1931. Its original valve line up is as follows: 24A X 4, 27, 45 X 2 & 80. Scanning the AWA receiver list from 1925 to 1938 doesn't show up any receivers with the valve line-up you list. I'm guessing your radio is indeed a 90E/C31 and has been modified. The name Ray Kelly is interesting. Ray Kelly (RIP) was one of the founding members of the Historical Radio Society of Australia. Cheers.

Ray, some photos would be welcome. You can email them to Brad and he'll post them here for you. His email address is on his profile page here: http://vintage-radio.com.au/default.asp?member=Brad.

The 90e circuit shows a phase splitter tx feeding the 2 45s in push pull with an output tx ,i can see no evidence of any txs that could have been on the chassie my 2 45s are in parallel. Ray Kelly mk2

Photos uploaded. Ray, if you'd like an avatar to be displayed, just e-mail it to me and I will do the rest. It needs to be an 80 x 80 pixel image in any of the common formats. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

Something sounding odd here? I wonder if it is a phase splitter if the two valves are parallel? Are you sure that speaker transformer, on the speaker is not a push pull? Several manufacturers had the PP out put transformer on the speaker. Marc
