Does anyone have the schematic for this radio? It says TR-4 on the the PC board. Someone replaced some of the capacitors and I'd like to double check that everything is correct.
This radio had two problems in general, for this model. One of the screws that holds it in the case goes right through the frame of the tuning capacitor. If it's tightened too tight it bends and breaks off one of the plates, which I found floating around inside the case. It still works fine without that outer plate in the oscillator section.
The other problem is that the speaker is attached to the PC board by it's magnet with a single screw.. The weight of the speaker flexes the board and breaks lands, which then have to be replaced with real wires. Maybe that's why there are so few of these still in use.
Thanks,
Dave
I forgot to say that this is an early transistor radio ( late 50s, early 60s) in a leather case. Knobs are on the sides, and a handle is on top. The front has a speaker grill and a logo "Jewel All Transistor Made in U.S.A." The logo is on the lower right side under the grill.
Thanks Again,
Dave

Hello Dave, Im not sure but I think this is the same as the jewell tr1

The link takes me to a page with a Regency TR-1 schematic on it. This is a Jewel TR-1 NOT a Regency TR-1. There IS a big difference between the two radios.
Thanks,
Dave

(I don't ever remember seeing other than RED cases ) Get it playing and then give it an environmental shake chamber worthiness vibrational test, using MULTIPLE tapping with a plastic handle end of a small pocket sized screwdriver . 73's de Edd

I have one here that has "THUNDERBOLT" spelled correctly on the inside of the back cover.

:If THIS is your unit , and with the HEAVY pcb traces, can't see that being a hard repair problem.
