I am looking for a replacement mains transformer for this radio, and would also like a schematic so I can identify capacitors that no longer have covers.
A mouse ate the wax and outer covers with the labels. The same mouse apparently ate the transformer primary windings,
I am also hunting for plastic escuttion strips that sat behind the control knobs to identify their function Vol, Tone, ON OFF tuning etc.. The originals have disintegrated.

You may have to get in contact with these guys -

http://www.nzvrs.pl.net/.

Their Philco index lists a 501R/N from 1953.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately their website links are full of very active viruses. I have sent them an email external to their site. Hopefully I will get some joy.

^ My anti-virus protection is not seeing any viruses. What are you using that is reporting viruses on that site?

I am using MacAfee.
The problems I am encountering are on any of the email links that use the nzvrs.pl.net site eg the link to webmanagercontent, membership application and so on.
I am now in contact with a Mr Dave Crozier of nzvrs.pl.net committee and working through the issue with him
The linked program that wants to start is coming from website (www.trovigo.(com). [I have added the brackets to prevent an accidental link being published]

Cheers

Trovi is a search engine aggregator. It seems harmless and they claim to have a partnership with Bing and Google although there's no way to substantiate a claim like that. On the other hand one wouldn't put up a claim like that if it wasn't true without expecting a knock on the door from these mobs.

Don't worry too much about links going live - these forums don't support that function anymore to help provide a disincentive to spam for the purpose of link-building. Instead we employ a Good Link Fairy who manages that for us. Smile

Like GTC, I didn't strike any trouble using the Trovi or NZVRS websites. Perhaps your AV software is hitting you with a false positive. This can be hard to determine sometimes.

A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

Can't quite place it but the Good Link Fairy looks vaguely familiar, is she expensive or freeware?

Philips side contact valve AH 1

Looking for one of these without paying horrendous UK auction site prices.
Used as converter in Philips 352 A nine valve circa 1938.
Also EF 6 for same set.
