HI, If your Astor is a model KK, the valve lineup should be; 6A8G convertor, 6B8G IF amplifier, 6V6GT/G audio amp with a 5Y3GT/G rectifier. This model was made in 1948-49. If you need a circuit or any other info, let me know. Cheers, Graham... |

I know this is a long shot but before I start a new thread, I was hoping Gfr53 was able to send me anything he has on the Astor KK radiogram, I have the circuit but nothing on the mechanism of the Turntable. I have seen some photos on the net and it appears I may have some metal bit missing but have no real idea what they do. |
