Radiola information needed - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Would any of the learned forum members know if there is Radiola model 80. I have a friend that lives in New Orleans who has a Radiola that has been out of use for a long time but is complete and kept in good condition, the only identification is a serial number 122910 though a picture of a similar model gives the model number 80. It is believed to date from 1929 1930. I have not been able to find out any more about it. I hope to have a picture at some stage. I am also hoping to be able to get the set working somehow. Circiut diagrams would be extremly helpful. (The radio survived Katrina though the house was damaged by a falling tree).

Thanks

Hi Geof,

The Radiola 80 does exist, and dates from 1930 according to the Bunis' Collectors Guide. Full service info is available for free download here: http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/342/M0040342.htm .
