Does anyone have a schematic for NordMende Caruso Special C? I have a problem, i buy this radio in a garage sale and a lamp (tube) are missing. I buy the tube (ECC81 stereo lamp) but it's not working, the number in the rear panel are worn. What is the good number of this tube to fit in my socket?? Thank you

Hello Hugo

Can you please give more informations? I think, something's wrong here. The ECC81 was rarely used in table top / console radios but quite often in car radios, tv's and amplifiers. No radio schematic of Nordmende that i have, shows a configuration using the ECC81. The Caruso 58 chassis i have has the tube line up ECC85, ECH81, EF85, EABC80, EM84, EL84 and selenium rectifier. The schematic of another Parsifal/Caruso shows a tube line up ECC85, ECH81, EF89, EABC80, EBC81, EM84, 2 x EL84 and selenium rectifier. If you think, this is the same as yours, i will mail you the schematic (> 1 MB)
