Beacon Receiver BC-1206B - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi

I am hoping that someone has the circuit (and if possible the component values) for the above receiver, this is the Detrola Model 438. The "B" variant uses a pair of 25L6 valves as the O/P device and a 6SF7 detector/AF amp, the "A" variant uses a 6SQ7 as the detector/AF amp.

I have searched for "Detrola Model 438" and "BC-1206B Receiver" without useful result. Thank you

Thank you Jan

I have found that site but unfortunatly it doesn't seem to have any info regarding the circuit of the Detrola "B" model, only the more common Carlson type.
