Hello all,

Can anyone please share with me the websites etc that they use to search for circuit info using Valve complements.

I have requested help a number of times and many replies mention whether or not, that particular lineup, was found and always wondered where to search.

Cheers

Gary

For Australian radios another useful reference is the list "Australian Radio Models by Manufacturer" available as a PDF file from the HRSA web site http://www.hrsa.asn.au/

You can also check out Kevin Chants website. That is one that several, including me, have added a few odd circuits to. Like, no circuit could be found for an STC 59 Chassis.

So I posted the one I ended up with (with appropriate warnings to its origin) after reverse engineering the hacked one I had been landed with. It having bits missing & being wrongly modified for its type. Interesting that an Oscilloscope sprung a manufacturing error in it. At least that would give someone a chance of getting one going.
