Hey im new here, just picked up an 1952 AWA Radiola.

Where is the best place to find the info/schematic stuff?
A quick google showed up a little but not alot.

Also have an Air Chief Car tube radio, i havent had a good look, but the Rola dates 16th September 1947.

Thanks,

Jayce

There were lots of Radiolas. Any idea of the AWA model number? If not, let us know the valve line-up. Either or both should be on a sticker on the chassis.

Ditto re line-up for Air Chief.

Thanks GTC,

The AWA is Model 545P

Line up 1R5, 1T4, 1S5, 3V4, 6X4,

The case is cactus, the back is all cracked, if i can get it working ide love to be able to turn in into a small guitar amp.

Ill have to pop the back off the Air cheif, will post soon.

The Airchief is GMH some circuits are in AORSM's the rest may be in the factory workshop manual.

The Ford Zephyr ones are and I know the Holden FJ etc ones are as I have seen both.

It will have a number on it & the valves will be a clue.

G'day,

If you unhide your email address in your profile page, I'll send you the AWA schematic.

This radio would make a poor guitar amp having a small 4 inch speaker and only 200 mW output.


Dont try to fire up the Airchief until it is identified and is checked for any faults. These radios came in 6 and 12 volt versions and will need some capacitor replacements.

Cheers, Graham...

Graham,

I unhid my address,

just in case,

ahh thanks, i wasnt sure what the output was.

The airchief is in no condition to be fired up, it is ineed of a recap, they are leaking.

Where would the model number be located, ive had a look but its pretty cramped in there.

Thanks Jayce
