Need help with 1920's Airline radio

[Bill Cahill]

I have a beutiful upright early A.C. late 1920's Arlline radio I desperately need help on. No model. Uses following 9 tubes. 1-80 2-45 1-24 5-26 Need schematc, parts list, etc., all knobs, door knobs for sliding doors, chassis anchors, shield for above chassis. Someone was going to turn it into a liquer cabinet. I repaired open a c switch. All transformers, filter choke, and speaker are good. Filters are shorted, and someone messed around with wiring. This radio didn't see a disastor, but, nearly did. Pleae help me save it!! Contact: Bill Cahill fanaticbill@verizon.net

If you cant find the model it might be
wise to post some pics. Take some of
both the cabinet and the chassis. Maybe
someone can identify it.

Also posted a plea with Antique Radio Forum. They found out it is model AE-10. Now I have the schematic. How can I find the knobs, door parts, chassis hooks, and top metal cover??? I appreciate all your help, guys!!!!! Call me crazy, but, I like this radio alot!!!!

Worst problem. Ok. Second worst. Audio driver transformer now has an open primary. Primary is single. Guess: 8,000-10,000 ohms. Secondary. Known: 15,000 ohms. Can anyone help me???? Oh, yeh! That side is center tapped to drive a pair of 45's. There are other problems, too, but, not beyond repair.

Not unusual. Seems the cloth insulation on the fine wire made back then tends to absorb moisture and corrodes the wire. Check

may have suitable replacements.
