Hello there radio fellows,I am an italian collector/repairman of vintage american radios too.I met with an nice little ERLA radio model 265 that is driving me crazy.All are ready to sell their $chematic$ on web but when you ask one "little" brand radio schematic like this no one help.So,this is my question to who want seriusly help me.I am searching for the schematic of this little ERLA model 265.It got 58-57-55-47 and 80 as tubes.Clearly a superheterodyne.Please,anyone have this schematics or news about this model,write me to my e-mail (umaondio@libero.it).Of course I will pay for foto-copy and mail overseas dispacth.Thanks for having read me.God bless you all.

Hello Umberto,
I can find no information on your ERLA model 265. I have a 1944 Sylvania tube handbook which lists a few ERLA models with the tube lineup you mention:

Models 510, 513 and 530 are 5-tube radios: Tubes 1-47, 1-55, 1-57, 1-58 and 1-80.

Models 610 and 614 are 6-tube radios: Tubes 1-47, 1-55, 1-57, 2-58 and 1-80.

IF frequency for all the above models is listed as 265 kc.

I am sorry but this is the only information I can find on these ERLA models. None of these seem to be covered by Rider, and none of them are listed in my 1936 Mallory Encyclopedia. But perhaps with these additional model numbers you can find some information from another source.

Hi Poston,I thank you very much for the precius infos you game me about my ERLA.Anyway,without any schematics,thanks also at its own simple contruction,I get started up and it works magnificently.Certantly there are some tension values not correct,I am sure, but it works and there is neither owl or hum at all.I changed the 55 tube because exhausted and replaced with a new one.It simply works.Am I glad or happy? Enough but it stay the mistery of schematics that with your help I certantly will find anyplace.

God bless you and your family
