I have recently aquired a lovely old TASMA radio here in New Zealand and would like to know more about it and if possible get a schematic for it.

I have sent pics to the administrator to publish here.

Not sure of the model number yet though my guess is 1932 or early 1933 as this was the era of the crescent tuning dial. There's no ARTS&P plate so it is definitely pre-1934.

The volume control as can be seen is in front of the speaker, something I have never seen before.

I have managed to get it working and it is loud and clear I would still like to get a schematic for this.

but of course finding out the model number is the key

heres hoping someone can help

Thanks Brad

Tasma Baby 180:

http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/thomand_baby_180.html.

You need to be a member of the museum in order to download the schematic. Dunno if we have any members on this site, otherwise I've emailed you a suggestion.

(I don't have anything for Tasma prior to 1937.)
