Hi, I have an Amplion record player, it has a Collaro RC456 deck, the amp is a single valve UCL83 type.
it has two controls on the front.
I cannot find a model number anywhere on it but need a circuit to check the components, it doesn't appear to be on the dvd rom I purchased from Paul Stenning, anyone else come across this player and can point me to a model number and circuit

Thanks Ray

I don't have a circuit diagram for the Amplion, but the circuit should be easy to trace out from the valve data. This should be obtainable by googling 'UCL83 Valve Data Sheet' , and, from the data, the circuit, which will be quite simple, can be traced out. The UCL83 is a triode-pentode so a 2-stage amplifier is used. What is the problem with your record player, b.t.w.?
