Hello Members,

I am chasing circuit diagrams and parts list for an AWA chassis 542 GA . I couldn't find anything , but a 538GA has the same valve line up and the cabinet looks the same . So either a 538 or 542 will do . The 542 is stamped on the chassis. Any help much appreciated.

Cheers
Vic

You haven't mentioned the line-up, but maybe 544GA is close?

Hi GTC,

Sorry for late reply. The 544 is totally different . I had already been on Kevin's site.

Valve line up is the same as the 538GA

6AE8 , 6AR7GT , 6AU6 , 6V6 , 5Y3.

Cheers

OK, I've emailed you the 538GA schematic and notes.
