Hi guys, I'm new to this website
My grandfather owns a few vintage radios, namely a few Krieslers and an AWA 'the fisk' radiola. I've been using the AWA recently and was wandering if anyone here could help me date and value it... here are some photos:
Everything is original as far as I can tell, except for the cloth on the front and maybe the valves... It's in complete working order.
Does anyone know if there are schematics available for this type of radio? and also what exactly the metal box mounted to the speaker is?
Thanks for your help!
Chris.

Dear Chris,
I have uploaded the photos for you. There are a couple of reasons why members can't do this job themselves at the moment. The website is fixed width and images larger than approx 460 pixels wide will push against the right hand column and distort the webpage. Because this is undocumented no-one will realise this will happen. There is also a security issue with JPEG images where people with the know-how can create malicious JavaScript files and disguise them as an image file, upload it and have it affect anyone visiting the page that hosts it. Unfortunately I do not know a way of blocking this vulnerability and I cannot yet confirm whether all the popular web browsers block it successfully yet.
For the time being images can be e-mailed to me at Brad mail.vintage-radio.com.au (except from Yahoo and Gmail accounts) and I will be happy to upload images for you.
With regard to the metal box on the loudspeaker, this is a transformer for the voice coil and is necessary for the loudspeaker to work correctly.

A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

Valve compliment would be almost handy.
ARTS&P label is a clue refer to HRSA website
6F6 was used 1937 / 1938
Looking for speaker model 84 perhaps and Model numbers along the lines of 84; 193; 194; 501; 310;
167; 304. which all used the same or similar circuit.
5Y3GT is not the original valve. Original would be the same shape as the 6F6, and probably Radiotron not Philips
