I am in need of a circuit diagram for an AWA Radiolette, model R29. If you have one could you please e-mail me a copy? Any file format is fine.

Many thanks.

A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

For a model that gets so much attention from collectors, surprisingly I can't find a schematic anywhere.

Perhaps it's been published in an article on restoration, although a quick check of my indexes failed to find that, either.

Very strange.

Hi Brad
Radiomuseum.org lists a Radiolette 29, with circuit. It is an Empire State, broadcast band only, using 6D6, 6A7, 6B7, 42 and 80.
Is this the one you are after?
Harold

That's the one Harold though I can't get it as I am not a member there.

I got one off Rudy Transfeld a few years ago though I owned a different laptop at the time so it may be that I've lost the file.

^ Didn't think to search on "radiolette".

Still strikes me as very odd that the only copy generally available online seems to be the one on the Radiomuseum site.

I think I've seen one on The Bakelite Radio but their website's been down all day.

About 20 years ago I bought one off the HRSA as I was a member at the time. I think, from memory, the payment was in postage stamps.

The good news is that someone has provided a circuit and thankyou to that person. Smile

If the R29 circuit is rare I may well redraw it when I have time (so there are no copyright issues) and upload it here.

That is quite amazing. How'd you manage to find that little treasure?

By typing "AWA model 29" in to Google.

Well, I did that and I didn't find that reference in 3 pages of results.

However, if I enter "trove AWA model 29" it comes straight up.

This is now going straight to Kev Chant to add to his comprehensive documentation collection.

Search engines are so easy to manipulate. I've built websites and had them ranking #1 for top keywords in a matter of weeks on the Big 3 and without the black-hat techniques used by a lot of webmasters. I don't really consider myself a true expert at search engine optimisation though the methods used do seem to work.

You'd be surprised at how easy it is even to wallop juggernauts like Wikipedia or sites that have been on the Internet since its inception.

One would think that a large Government website (and the high level of credibility that should come with that status) would have their content ranking a lot higher.

Typing error.

I actually typed "AWA Model R29" and the trove result appeared on page 2.
