Hello everyone ,

Would anyone have info and a circuit diagram for a QP Astor radiogram. Listed as a 32 volt farm set.

I believe someone has plugged it into 240V at some stage and it was stored in the farmhouse shed until now. I will have to change the turntable motor to an AC and was hoping Astor made a similar mantel set chassis I could use to repair this . Any information appreciated . I would love to repair this for them as it has great sentimental value to them .

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Vic

If someone plugged it into 240 volts you may find that the heaters in all the valves have blown.

It will be an expensive exercise replacing them all.
