G'day all,

Obviously new to the forum.......radio collecting started for me about 2 years back when I found a barely recognisable maroon HMV Little Nipper 61-51 under a pile of old tools and junk at a trash and treasure market.

Remarkably, the case although filthy dirty was in not too bad condition with only a couple of hairline cracks in the backing cover and a couple of knobs missing but fortunately the dial glass was in great condition and the chassis complete. After securing my treasure for $10 (bargained the seller down from $20!), I had my first project!

With the help of a friend who is a long time restorer of radios we brought the Little Nipper back to life and I have been 'hooked' on the hobby ever since. Recent projects include a Tasma Rollerdial and Philips 'Jubilee 4'.

Recently I got hold of a HMV Super 5 which is in pretty bad shape and bought it only to salvage the valves and bits from it but can't bring myself to destroy the old girl so have decided to restore it.

I have the AORSM catalogue of radio schematics but can't find this model on the database for some reason? (I guess it was one of the last valve HMV's produced). It is a 65-54 model and valve lineup is 6AN7/6BA6/6AV6/6M5/6X4.

If anyone has a copy of this schematic that they could send me I would be most appreciative.

Thanks in advance,
Bluedoggie
