Hi Gang,
Picked up an AWA Fisk 188 console some years ago but have been putting off doing anything with it until now.
The cabinet is very poor weathered condition and unlaminated.
The chassis is in good condition but no valves, which I should be able to find in my stock.
This really looks like a worthwhile radio, with tuned RF stage etc.
I would love a circuit. Can any one help.
Believe it is in AORSM '39 page 90, but not sure?
Cheers, JJ.

Yes it is page 90, volume 3 of the AORSM.

The AWA manufacturers service manual sheets is for models 183, 183Z & 188.

I'll post a copy of the schematic here.

Thanks,
Good quality circuit, very happy.
This project might take some time. Some major carpentry to start with.
So far have sourced all the original type valves, but not sure whether they all work yet.
Cheers, JJ
