Gulbansen (model #???) need a schematic..help please
6/22/2010 7:11:46 PMGeorge
Hi all I just picked up a Gulbransen chairside radio with no model # on it. I can not find a schematic to match this tube line up...Help please... Radio has 3 224s, 227, 2 245s, and a 280 tube. Tube sockets are marked w/ these numbers...I am guessing it is 1930-33. It has the lovely tar cap blocks and I need to know the cap values...Thank you for any help.

Look through the schematic which can be found here:

I look through all of the scheamtics on here and the 160 modle is close but has a extra 27 tube...I am not expert so I am kind-a looking for the exact schematic...If i use the 160 model schematic I will "get lost" with all the extra wires and such

We have Rider schematics for older radios. Other than that not much is available.

Pin #2 on all tubes is plate. This pin should be positive. Pin #3 on the 24 is screen and will also be positive but less than pin #2. Would expect voltage in the 100-250 volt range. Missing voltage will stop the radio from operating.

Look through radiomuseum.org. Their listing does not show one that matches your tube lineup but lists two with little description. It shows a model 535 7 tube console with no other info. & a model M-5-A1 large table model with a picture. Are you looking for a true chairside console? John

No.. I am just looking for a schematic so I can restore chassis.. This dam thing has a cap bock with just wires comming out of it to various components.
