Hello I'm hoping that some-one may be able to point me in the right direction to get parts to repair a MURPHY STEREOGRAM Mains Receiver Type SGS713 Made in NZ early sixties. We bought it to Australia from NZ but haven't been able to find parts. It belonged to my dad who bought it brand new from the factory. I don't have any manual which would help. I've been told I may need capacitors or transistors or even a coil. I live in HERVEY BAY 4655 QLD I joined yesterday hoping there is someone near to me that may be able to help or send me some info. Thanks, Kiwigirl

Kiwi Murphy radios were manufactured by Allied Industries, NZ under licence from Murphy Radio Limited in England. They were distributed by Fisher & Paykel of Lorne St. Auckland.

It could be based on a UK Murphy:

If no luck with UK models you might want to contact the New Zealand Vintage Radio Society:
