I'm looking for infomation about the output transformer what voltage it is and what can be used to replace it. Also where can I get new vaccume tube if needed. I'm just now starting to repair from years of neglect.

Hi Nathan

Your radio uses push-pull 6F6's for output. The proper output transformer would be 10,000 ohm impedance plate to plate with a center tap. Secondary can be 8 ohm impedance. These numbers are transformer ratings not resistance read on an ohm meter.

You can buy transformers & tubes at Play Things Of Past, www.oldradioparts.com or Antique Electronic Supply, www.tubesandmore.com .

Forgive me intruding here, but I'm located in the UK and trying to get some information about the originality of knobs on a Wards Airline radio model 93BR-509A. Is there anyone out there who can help, if I send a picture?

Much gratitude

Hi jonathan

Found a picture of 509A on the internet. Hope it shows enough detail?
