Hi, first time i have worked on one of these 1947 Currys own brand radios. Has anyone got a cct diagram? Unsure who made it, looks a bit Sobell? Anyone else worked on them? Malc.

There's a circuit on Radiomuseum:

I think you can buy them on an individual basis these days.

I have fond memories of these sets. In the 1970's during one of my many trips to the tip I rescued one along with a pile of 78s. On the way back through town on my bike with set on the rack I was stopped by a Bobby (remember them?) "Where you got that from?!" I replied "the tip" "you better had!" I got the set home and with help from grandpop got it going.

It has survived my teenage years, being used as an amp, three house moves and a long time in the loft. It is now pride of place in my dining room! I even still have a few of the 78s . The wedding of Lilly Marlene, Anne Shelton, What a voice! Red sales in the sunset tab Hunter... 😎
