Help to identify model of this Sound Sales Radio - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

PJC58-Hythe · 17th May 2011, 6:39 pm

I have just bought a Sound Sales radio for £10, unfortunately it is in a very sorry state - which I intend to rectify. However it is not a DX Plus One or a special six so I would really appreciate some help in identifying the model.

It has a tuning indicator at the top centre and what looks like a fairly hefty O/P transformer so I'm guessing it has a push pull output stage. I haven't actually seen it in 'the flesh' so to speak but I have included a couple of photos that hopefully might help with identification.

I just hope someone can help!

This one looks similar bar one valve but no model designator given.

The different shaped valve could be more original than the GZ34 in the other unit. Why fit a Mullard rectifier when the rest of the valves sound like Marconi-Osram types?

Thanks Andrew for the pointer and I agree with your comment Chris.

I'm guessing (as I can't find any) there is no service data or circuit diagrams available for these sets? Guess it will be trace it out and draw my own before I dismantle it!
