Hi, I am in the process of restoring an AWA 55C console radio and was wondering if anyone had a schematic? Thanks, Gary

Gary, Can't find a listing for that model but I'm sure that there will be an almost direct equivalent. Could you send the valve line up as I am still checking. Kind Regards Rudy

Would the C55 listed here be the one in question? ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

So it looks like I'll have to trace the circuit from chassis? Oh well, hopefully it will be of use to someone when I finish.

Unfortunately circuit diagrams are not a very common item. One thing I've always wanted to have here is a free library of just about every circuit diagram ever printed for Australian radios but I've never been able to find a resource. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

Well you will have one for the 55C soon.

After further investigation the radio was found to be a AWA 55E, chassis C89. I'll ask Brad to upload the schematic. AWA 55E Circuit Diagram

Uploaded. I recently had the privilege of buying an AWA 55E off a fellow member here. Consoles of this calibre are about as good as collecting gets. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away...
