Hi again.

This time I am after service data for a "National Panasonic Transistor Radio" Model R-238R.
The tuning gang was faulty, and has long since been lost. I have found another tuning gang I hope to put in,
but it is not quite the same. Need the service data, or perhaps a donor radio.

Although I have about four reams of service data on early transistor radios, this one appears to be from 1975, or a little later as its dial is marked in kHz and MHz.

Thanks in advance.

Wayne.

Can't find any tech doc on that model.

A few cheap R238R on eBay at the moment. Maybe the fastest/cheapest way out?
