Am in need of information on a 5 tube table radio in a red plastic case. The only identification is on the dial face which has the word Sandard at the bottom.The tube layout is 12be6, 12ba6, 12at6, 35w4 and50L6, with 1-IF stage. Two knobs on the lower right front below the rectangular dial. the spoeaker is on the left front. Would like schematic and year information.
Thanks, Wayne

Wayne:

This is a "standadr" All American Five" radio. I think if you Google " All American Five" schematic you will get the generic RCA AA5 schematic. They made MILLIONS of these radios with the SAME schematic.

If you don't find it send me an e-mail and I will send it to you.

Plead be more careful with your advice. These old radios are extremely precise pieces of equipment. Even the most minute differences in circuity are of utmost importance and failure to follow and use the correct diagram could result in the most severe consequences. There have been many many unfortunate radio repair mean who made the mistake of using a diagram that was supposedly "close enough" or of a generic nature. Where are they now? No one knows. Perhaps the changes they made caused kink in the space time continum, maybe they became so confused they just wandered off, or maybe the radio gods just could not abide the heresy of using a generic diagram. Do not let this happen to you. Never, ever, touch a set without the corect diagram for that particular set. If you can't find it just put the radio aside and never touch it again. That is the only safe thing to do.

I suppose you are correct, however it depends upon what you want to do with that diagram. Perhaps it IS best to be exactly correct but in this case since the AA5 is so widely used I thought it would help this gentleman out,especially if he cannot find the original diagram.

So - OK I defer to your judgement.If he can find the original diagram that IS the best choice.

Lou and Wayne:
I think you are both right. Use the "generic" schematic of any AA5 to get an idea of what you are working with, but do not make any changes in the original radio without knowing for sure that someone else has mis-wired it in the past. Tube pins and signal flow are just about the same on all AA5s, and any schematic can give a very good starting place to start troubleshooting any other AA5, but that is not to say they will be wired exactly the same.

Perhaps it is/was just me, but I think I read a bit of sarcasm in Elbert's post. Repaired many of those in the last several decades mostly without a schematic. On occasion had to procure or look at a Photofact to get a part number for replacement.

This is a "standadr"????

What they said. The radio is late 40's early 50's if it still uses the 50L6 power tube, IMO.
Is it plastic or painted Bakelite? A hot pin will melt plastic. Many of the early 50's radios were still Bakelite. The GE 400 is plastic and came in red.
Go to The Radio Attic and browse thru a 1000 pictures of plastic and bakelite radios. Yours may be there.

A bit of sarcasm? Now why would you think that? After all the AA5 is a truly complex radio. Why you might even need two screwdrivers instead of just the one usually paired with the a finger to fix these sets.

Whoops. Wet finger that is. The standard tool set for fixing old radios is a screwdriver and a wet finger. If you need anything else you should stay away from them.

::Thanks for the info guys, I was not aware of the web sites you mentioned. The Attic had lots of photos,but no Standard. I am OK without the orig.schematic. Just trying to track down the year manufactured. Since the original posting I did find info on the back. A model 1040, by Lang Radio Enterprises, Inc., N. Y. Couldn't find a reference in Sams. This rodio was not abused so I'm planning on reparing and cleaning it. It's a keeper.
