I am looking to see if someone in the group would have any photos of this radio. I am looking for shots of the tone control that operates the rotating dial of this radio. I cannot see how to make it turn other then by hand when out of the cabinet.It looks like the one I have is broken or something missing to make it work. If anyone has info on this it would be appreciated.

Just had to bump this back to the top for some reason I only posted a few hours ago and seems like it is so far down because of posts from another person who seems to have everything on here. I am new to the forum and dont understand why it is going on but if anyone could help with rogers radio here it would be a big help.

still looking for someone with info on this radio

Hi Mike

Other than what Ed supplied from RCC we have little information on Canadian radios. I will forward you post to Ed who may have more.

Found 6P7G to be available here:

Mike,
Check out the Institute of Technology, Radio College Of Canada. In the past one could get copies of schematics from them, sort of repository.

MIke - I'm not sure from your description which knob you are referrring to having problems with - is it the band switch - some models had a large band switch with a large brassy plate with windows in it - some of the positions on the switch were for band change - the rest were for automatic broadcast band preset stations.

If you're referring to the tone control - some models had a gear mounted on the shaft of the tone control - when the tone control was rotated fully clockwise the gear would mesh with another - mounted on the dial shaft - that was connected to a rod that in turn was connected to variable inductors in the IF - thus widening the IF frequency response to give better fidelity.

Your best bet is to get hold of George Found at Grandpa's radio shop in Kitchener - he has many of the Consolidated Industries factory original schematics for these radios
- they usually include parts list and chassis layout diagrams.
The 6F7M will be hard to obtain - anyone who has one likely won't give it up - a 6P7 can be used - but I believe you will have to rewire the socket - contact me if you don't have the rewiring instructions - sometimes Rogers used tube sockets that didn't contain all 8 female pins - so you may have to replace the socket - I've done it before - PITA - lots of wires and components to move in a confined area- but the radio performed just fine.
For some reason - information on 1936 model year radios can be hard to get - the same chassis will likely have been used in other models - see if there is another chassis number on the plate of the radio and I will try to cross reference it to other model NAMES - usually stamped on the rear of the Cabinet in white or silver paint. That may make it easier to come up with a picture.Who knows - I'm rearranging my shop right now - I may have one of those chassis or radios right now.
Pacific TV doesn't seem to have any 6P7 right now - but you might want to contact him to get some - otherwise you can try Radio Daze - http://www.radiodaze.com/tubes-05.htm

Good luck - Steve

Hi, Norm sent me a message. Unfortunately I do not have a photo of this radio or its chassis. I believe you have a schematic, if not one can be emailed. RCC schematics of this era are not great as RCC would put two heavily tubed radios on one standard page making detail hard to read.

I have a Royal Star of the same time. It came with a 6F7 mickey moused into an eight pin socket and works that way.

Hi thanks for the replies i will give George Found a call. He had helped before with matters like this and forgot to even think of him. I do know that this model has a switch that works off the tone control that changes the band but could not find a photo of it. the only once i have found have not shown this dial very well so if someone else would have one it would be a great help.
