Hello All,
All I have is the tuner part with these tubes inside:
6R7, 6K7, 6K7 and 6A8. There is also a tube chart. These are the exact tubes that are on the tube chart. This unit has push buttons, and two cables. One cable has a two prong plug and the other has a 3 prong plug. If anybody knows what model this is, please let me know.

Thanks,

Dave

Hello again All,
Thanks to MAG it's a Model 983667, and it's in volume 14 and dated 1942.
But it was the service data that was made in 1942, not the radio.

Sir Dave. . . .

I tell you whuts . . . that certainly seems to be one ROUGH unit to track down, properly identify and finally find a correct schematic for.

As you mentioned, when using the year of manufacture and then when tied into the Riders series for that year, gives no answer.

And then when looking to the later 1942 Riders where they seem to have finally covered it . . .albeit . . . au post datum.

Then when I look there is the initial standard usual coverage being in alphabetical order, so I was then fully expecting it to be tacked onto the very end.

Didn't find it there either.

I spot checked in DELCO and UNITED and didn't seem to find it there.

Sooooooo under what manufacturers listing did you finally find it, and what pages under them ?

I did find several one piece units that used that front end RF complements and with their added AF and power supply units.

But not as 2 pieces.

Wondering also . . . any chance that this sole unit was sent to you, with his thinking, that was ALL that there was to the radio; since it had the dial and knobs on the unit.

Soooooo . . . . where in those 1357 pages of 1942 Riders is it located?

73's de Edd

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you!
