I can't find any info online for this Blaupunt Radiogram chassis.
The Model number is hand written (see pic)
The guitar/tape replay button also piqued my interest.
The valve line-up is ECC83, ECH81, EF80, ECC85, EAA91, EL84 (x2) I'm assuming, as one is missing. There is also a magic eye. As usual, it would be great to hunt down a schematic.
Any help would be great, thanks.

I can't help with a schematic, but I can tell you that it looks exactly the same chassis as an old Hammerstein radiogram that I converted into a guitar amp. Note especially the last photo with the model/serial number plate. These were made in South Africa, and I've seen no schematics for any SA-made radios/amps of that era, not even the locally designed and manufactured Philips models.
