Is this a floor-standing radiogram?

From the clues you have provided it could be a model 83P.

The valve line-up is as follows: 6SK7GT, 6AN7 or ECH35, 6AR7GT, 6J7G, 6SJ7GT or 6J5G, 6V6GT, 6V6GT & 5V4G.

The schematics can be found in the AORSM's volumes 9, 11, 13 & 14. In the volume 13 schematic it is called the "HI-FI 10".

83P is my guess, too, hence the question.

Will be interesting to see photos, as there aren't many around for such Electrosound models.

I can provide the schematic once we positively identify it.

(Still waiting for photos.)
