Hi folks
Our grandson has just started the full restoration of a 1958 Fiat 1100 car and, as expected, I have been given the radio to restore.
I am looking for a circuit or service instructions and cannot find anything on Radiomuseum.org or Kevin's site. It looks like a very standard radio, 12BE6, 12BA6, 12AV6, 12AQ5 and a 12X4 rectifier. The vibrator is a V4012 non-synch, 6 pin.
The chassis metalwork is identical to the model 115, this model has an additional 12BA6 RF amp and it looks as if the model 110 is a cheaper version and I expect that the remaining circuit will be identical.
However, one should never assume, so any info will be appreciated.
Harold

Hi Harold,

I am a bit of a Ferris 'tragic' .... but all my circuit diagrams are for solid state models ......
