Hi there

I am after the circuit for an old Astor. I cant completely identify the model. it looks like the Deluxe 6 but only has 5 valves (there IS NOT one missing that I can find, but haven't looked that hard at the 50 years or so of dust on the chassis!) and a duel gang tuning cap.

The set has 4 settings on one side for short wave and AM, and a pot or something on the other.

The valve line up is as follows

6A8G 6U7G 6B6G 6V6GT/G 5Y3GT

there is a choke mounted on the back of the chassis that is completely stuffed and I am after as much info on this set as I can get.

The chassis does not have any markings that I can make out.

Valve radios, They just don't make them like they used to

Could you refrain from double posting on the same thing

This will only cause confusion especially as it is not consistent with the other post.
