Hi Folks,

Wondering if anyone has a copy of the schematic / service details for a 1950's AWA radiogram - chassis has 538 GA stamped on it.

Cheers
Scott

If not, it'd be close. (Perhaps the 8 is really a 5?)

No, the 538 has a different line-up.

Is it 6AE8; 6AR7; 6AU6; 6V6; 5Y3.

Interesting if that's it. Beware the choke is in the negative from the CT and it is back biased; it also uses feedback from the secondary of the output transformer. There should be a mains socket for the turntable.
