Hi group,
would anyone have a parts list for this model?
I have the cct , but not the skill to id the individual parts.
The chassis gives clues but in itself is quite modified.
Cheers Michael.

I note that AORSM's have no parts list but there are not a lot of them.

There are two of these listed one has Push pull 35L6.
single voltage

the other a single ended 25L6 and a 1.5V bias battery and designed for 32V 50V & 110V depending on how its wired.

If it has been monkeyed with that does not help any one as you need to be able to pick through the circuit to see where they probably went wrong and what Voltage its wired for?

You may have to resort to photo's to have the parts identified?

Marc

Wow, a 32vdc radio with no vibrator. Never new such a thing existed!
As Marc said, very few circuits in the aorsm have parts lists, but some do. Unfortunately, this radio is not one of them.

btw, if it has a 25L6 for output, then it will be either 32v or 50v.
32V if the output filament is on it's own with a series resistor, or 50V if the output filament is in series with the rest.
The 110v used a 50L6 ouput.

oh I should add that the circuit in the aorsm does have component values, so if that's the circuit you have then a parts list won't be of much added help. What you really need is a component location diagram that references the component number in the circuit diag.
But as Marc noted, there's hardly any components in this radio so id'ing by photo shouldn't be too hard.

Thanks again Marc and Rob for replies.
Yeah Rob 32 v goes ok without the vibrator , look up
Astor QP ...the HMQ is supposed to be the poor cousin...
but never mind, my HMQ needs help....want another quest?

Marc ...its getting to the point where I need an experienced
hand to sort it out....however I cant expect to ask for care and consideration as to restoration to the original 32v
operation without at the v/ least a supply of replacement parts.
Cheers Michael.

It will only likely need a few paper caps replacing, plus the odd resistor.

Being of such low voltage I fail to see any issues in getting caps & resistors.

Predicting it's power consumption is not overly difficult & 32Volts should not be that difficult to do.

I have had radio's from the 1920's (battery) onwards across the bench this year; Latest a 1936 Bandmaster with a shot sensitivity pot among other issues. It left Sat. in working condition (with a brand new pot). Albeit I had to make an extension shaft for that pot.

The Bandmaster D184E is a "top end" job. Not many sets can beat sets like this for performance.
