Beau Decca radiogram. Found one at last.

[FIXITNOW]

        Picked up one of these at the weekend, fortunately it's complete. It has some worm on both sides and some veneer damage. Also one speaker has been replaced with a Celestion type.

I have the 4 sheet basic service info sheets dated December 1948 . Has anyone a copy of the manufacturer's service data (pdf) etc they could email me? If so please send me PM.

thanks Vince

just a little update amp has now had its wax caps replaced and electrolytics reformed got it up and running yesterday via a lamp limiter with my record deck (plus a gram ) feeding it

Would re-stuff the electros eventually if it were me: don't trust reforming in the long term. But each to their own.

Nice find if you have the room for it. For me there is none left !

It makes a nice change to see one of these that will be kept intact. A nice item too!  

I would urge caution regarding those 'All Aluminium' caps. Every one of those I have encountered has been unusably leaky. How did the test go, did it sound OK?

I'd be interested to learn how you get on with the restoration.

Regards

Does the circuit of the amplifier resemble the one that was in an article in the 1947 Wireless World?
Two L63 triodes and a pair of PX25s in push-pull.
