Bush AC3 circuit diagram wanted. - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi all,

Does anybody know where I can obtain a circuit diagram for a Bush AC3? I have tried all my usual ports of call but nothing so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Kevan

HI Kevan, it is shown in tradersheet No 91, Mar 1936. It may be available from the service data link above as it would have been included on the BVWS collection of some years back.

That's the AC23 Ed. Is it the same or similar? If so it is on the BVWS cd.

Hi Gents, my database lists an AC3, but no AC23 on this sheet, and I've not presently got access to the Trader sheets so I can't check if it is a typo.

EDIT, Ive just has a look in my Bush file and I have a circuit for the AC2 and DAC 2, probably late 30's and both similar chassis. Try looking for a DAC3 and you may get something close.
