Hello,
I wonder if anyone can help me obtain service information for a RGD 6012T receiver. I have the BVWS Trader Sheet CD's but cannot find any reference to this model.

The RGD is similar to the Regentone 6014T although this a 14" set.
Information can be found in the 1953/54 Radio and Television servicing book on page 574. The servicing notes can be used with caution.
Does your set employ Mulard or Mazda valves? If it is Mazda the Defiant TR1252 employs a similar Plessey chassis.

Hi Terry,
Your set is similar to the Defiant TR1252. The valve line-up is the same as your RGD 6012T.
I'll check out my Defiant set to find out what other differences exist between the RGD and Defiant receivers.
The chassis were made by Plessey.
The picture is of the Defiant TR1252. That set has a large dropper resistor just right of the CRT support. It may be present in the RGD behind the screening box.

Hi
The extra dropper is not present, though there are holes cut to take one.
