Hi, would I be able to get some help identifying this awa TV.
I'm also after a service manual or circuit. See attached pictures below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there.

It is a Model 206 C.

This was the first 21" telly made by AWA from around 1956/7.

I do have a service manual for this set. Click on to my profile and you'll find my email address

Cheers.

AWA used to put a set similar to that - with doors - on stands and supply them to schools. I'll always remember the one we had which was shared between classrooms.

Thanks for all the info so far.

Would anybody know if you can replace a 6DQ6-A valve with a 6DQ6-B in this model AWA TV.

Kind Regards, Rory.

A 6DQ6-B should be fine. It is an up-rated version of the 6DQ6-A and has slightly different physical dimensions. The 6DQ6-B is a fave amongst Goldentone guitar amp enthusiasts.
