I bought an old radio the last time I was in Queensland as it looked like a decently large mains table radio. |

Bit of a lottery. Would be an idea to get some photo's of it & chassis & a confirmation on the bottle labels. Pentagrids like 6AN7 are from early fifties. |

Thanks. I noticed the heaters were joined to the HT, so I guessed the entire radio ran on a lower than normal voltage. That would explain the extra IF stage(s). |

Being 32V it was designed for the bush & 32V lighting systems. It was likely designed to pull in & separate stations a long way from it. |

Dug out the chassis, it has a fuse holder on the back. The valves are in slightly different posistions to what's described in the manual. No record player (although it has an input socket). |

Astor ANR and QN models share that lineup with the QP. |
