PYE XX38 portable valve radio. (Identified as a Pye New Baby Q All Dry).
I have a PYE portable valve radio and I'm hoping someone can confirm the model number.

Re: PYE XX38 portable valve radio
That looks like my Pye New Baby 'Q'.

Re: PYE XX38 portable valve radio
Baby Q's look more rounded in pictures I looked at Graham.

Re: PYE XX38 portable valve radio
A couple of Pye sets from 1940 look similar.
Baby Q Senior. New Baby Q All Dry. EDIT: It looks like the Baby Qs have been discounted. Last edited by ukcol; 5th Nov 2016 at 12:37 pm. Reason: Added sentance. |

Re: PYE XX38 portable valve radio
Now I have searched Baby Q, I'm finding it the same Graham. I have no idea what wonderful internet picture I stumbled upon yesterday, apart from it was similar but very rounded.
Mine here does indeed look like a Baby Q I'm now searching for. I'm finding pictures referring to 'Baby Q all dry cover' to be the same as mine. |

Re: PYE XX38 portable valve radio
Yup. My own Pye Portable is clearly a Pye New Baby Q All Dry.

Re: PYE XX38 portable valve radio
There is a Pye HF25 amplifier in those pictures, its the first one I have seen since I worked in London in 1954 where we sold them, I was beginning to think I had imagined it.

I think this is the service sheet I used when restoring mine. The picture is different, but the circuit is correct. http://www.service-data.com/product....63/6619/t15363
