I have one of these radiograms I acquired last year and I have recapped it and it sounds great, however the turntable is missing the phono cartridge and the arm does not lift up and lower to the start of the record. Strangely the turntable centre spindle still has the tag on it from new, so I'm hoping that it just needs a basic adjustment to get working.

Does anybody know where I might find a schematic and manual for the turntable for this? As I haven't been able to find anything in the usual places beyond this link on Radiomuseum, which has good photos of one identical to mine, but has scant information.
Cheers!

You may find that model uses one of their more common chassis for that era. Suggest searching Radiomuseum on the valve line-up.

Jamie, do you know if the record changer is a Velvet Action model 103 or 104?

Is the rectifier a 6X5GT or 6V4?

Hi Monochrome I'm pretty sure it is a 6V4 and I'm not sure of the changer, nothing written on it?

6AN7 6N8 6BD7 6M5 6V4 is the lineup but I can't seem to find anything. Many other brands apparently share that lineup?

Jamie I've emailed you the schematic for the model 54A21 which shares that line-up. With luck, it will be the same chassis as the one you have, or will be close enough to be of use.
