All,
I just picked up an old Stewart Warner 11-6V in really good shape (pics @ www.flickr.com/photos/veedubrocco). However, I see schematics for 11-6V1, 2, 3, etc. How would I be able to tell which is which ?
The radio needs a freshing up; but being as they had it playing in the shop where I purchased it, I know it plays =). I think all of the control items need to be replaced, along with the caps and the needle.

Thanks !

Steve,
I do not have the answer to your question but just wanted to say you have a very nice looking radio on your hands. It is not often you find one still working in such good condition.

Have fun with it.
All Blessings this Holiday Season!

In all probability, you would only be interested in the electronics aspect in consulting a reference
schematic on your unit. In this case, the 11-6V1 thru 6V9 Model Numbers are utilizing the common
6V1 chassis. The series of model numbers are probably differentiating between cabinet / housing
subtleties and not towards the main chassis proper info.

Thanks for the kind comments and help !
After I posted, I did look through all of the schematics, and found them all to be the exact same....So I suppose that answered that question !
Im going to refinish the cabinet over the winter time I think - at which point I will also go through the electrics, and hopefully by then find a new needle and speaker as well. Any idea as to what these old speakers were 2ohm ?

Thanks again,
Steve

Hi, Steve. You said the set was playing, so why replace the speaker? Is the cone damaged beyond repair? Otherwise, I'd leave it alone.

A rough rule of thumb is measure the resistance of the voice coil, and double it - that will approximate the speaker impedance. But, you need to temporarily disconnect the voice coil from the audio xfmr to measure the resistance.

Doug,
Ah, thanks. I never knew repair was possible (isn't it painfully obvious that Im a newbie ?). I just found some info on the web on it; right now Im just going to take it apart and see how things look.
The reason why I am mentioning the speaker was because it wasn't sounding so hot - but perhaps just the paper pulled away from the perimeter.

Thanks again,
Steve
