Does anyone here have a schematic for run 18 of the 29Z1 chassis? Sams only covers up through run 17.

If you do not have the factory manuals, you need Admiral service manuals S592 and S592a. They are at The ETF listed with the SAMS. All the best,Tom.J

Unfortunately, the ETF manual (S592) doesnt have a schematic for the run 18 chassis. Im guessing that S592a might have it, but the ETF does not have that manual on hand.

Well SwizzyMan here is the link, http://www.earlytelevision.org/pdf/A...nual_S592a.pdf I downloaded it at 9:20p.m. Its' a long URL so not all of it shows in the link. Tom.J

Swizzyman,

I also found the S592A service manual in my stash. But probably just as ez for you to download it from the ETF site.

Oh...duh! Can't believe I missed that! Thanks Tom

I am taking a break from the 4 for awhile. I'm now turning most of my attention to servicing a horizontal issue on the 5. But I am still doing some minor things with the Regent. Does anyone know how I could possibly replicate the metal insert on the channel knob? The volume knob lost its insert long ago. Any Ideas?

IIRC I found a couple of those knobs a few months back. A transplant or replacement knob may be possible if the ones I'm thinking of are the same.

That would work perfectly if you have some. Let me know and I'll buy em!

[SwizzyMan]

Still looking for knobs or ideas to fabricate a new knob insert. Were you able to search for those knobs Tom?

Crap...I knew I was forgetting something. I'll check when I get home tonight.

Those inserts look like they could be made on a lathe from sheet aluminum. Shaping them using hardwood over a wooden dowel shaped on the end like the mating surface of the plastic knob.

The real trick would be to keep the center smooth as it needs the lathe's "dead center" to keep it in place while shaping.

Never tried it but just an idea from my experience in a shop. I have an HH Scott stereo receiver missing several similar aluminum "caps" from its knobs. The glue was not worth crap in the old days.

I found them, and they may work.

I'm trying to find a way to upload the pictures. My main PC melted down back on saturday so I need to figure out my flickr password or wait till the spare parts for my machine show up....

No worries, just let me know when you can get them up. Just PM me or post it here.
