Hello,
I have been given a rather simple four tube radio named Detrola but I cannot find a model number. It says it's licensed under RCA, GE, and Westinghouse patents. The tube lineup is: 25Z5, 6C6, 6A8, 43. Does anyone know of this radio or any similar radios whose schematics might be available/of use?

Thanks!
Ron

Hi Ron

Didn't find that exact tube lineup. Could the 6A8 be 6A7? 6A8 is a more modern tube but is similar to 6A7 except for base.

Try Detrola 134 or 172. Schematics can be found in Rider Vol 8 and here on nostalgiaair.

Thanks, yes upon close examination, the tube socket for 6A8 has been replaced at some point. Thanks for the hints!
