Packard Bell - Need to verify model number
12/2/2008 7:47:03 PMBruce Walters(68086:0)
I just bought a beautiful sounding Packard Bell radio, but the internal antenna is shot. I think this radio is a model 46J (guessing because that number is on several parts). The tubes are 6V6, 6SQ7,6SA7,6X5, and(2)6SK7 for a total of 6 tubes. I hooked it up with an external antenna and it pulls in stations extremely well, but I really would like to put an internal antenna back on it. I don't have a schematic for the radio and without a model number, that's a challenge.

Bruce: Packard Bell did have a model 46J with that tube line-up. IF is 460kc. I don't see it listed here, but if you have access to Rider's manuals, check 12-2.

Sir Bruce:
Herewith. . . . one 46J copy from Red Ryders Manual:
(Little Beaver wasn't around). . . . .
There is also the possibility of checking out certain circuit similarities on the the 66 series of chassis' and take note of the rectangular versus square chassis layout. See if that
is akin to it, or at least close enough to work with or it might clarify some parts values as well as some alignment info.

:It now works perfectly, It was only a hinch, but I suspected some of that cloth covered copper stuff was suppossed to be attached to one of those solder thingies, and this helped me pick the right ones.
