Mod please feel free to move this if it's in the wrong place.

I have purchased the "Service Manual" for a Cossor set I was previously unaware of the 493/AX Burma Community Listening Receiver.

Burma is now known as Myanmar.

Unfortunately there is no picture or circuit diagram but the valves used seem to be the same as those used in the 470AC a chassis used in several different sets.

I does however have different wavebands.

There is a description of the mains input fuse being on the front panel so its possible that this set looks a bit like a Schools receiver more industrial than domestic.

The information is dated August 1949 and being so specific rather than a general overseas receiver suggest government contract but that's just speculation on my part.

As Burma gained its independence in 1947 were these intended as aid?

Anyone come across this set?

Cheers
