Emor Radio
 

I just bought a 1947 Emor radio, made in England...it left the Mother country in good working order, but arrived here courtesy of fedex in non-working condition. It powers on (with the use of a 110v to 220v up converter), but no stations tune in. I've ordered tubes off ebay and will try simply replacing them, but that's the extent of my knowledge. (Yes, I like vintage electronics but can't repair them, ok??)

My question: anyone know a credible place for antique radio restoration in west Michigan? Not interested in driving over to the Detroit area if I don't have to and certainly don't want to try shipping it again.

Thanks!

They must've sold a lot of them here at the time.
There's a Riders schematic available. It's listed under Emor Radio LTD.
The schematic looks to be a truly American design. The schematic shows the part values, but no voltages. :sigh:

You might be looking at the model 100, which was the American version. This is the model 200, built in England.

Can you at least open it and try re-seating the tubes?

Is there any simularity to the U.S. model? Remove the cover and look inside. You also might find what worked loose. :yes:

Emor Globe radio
 

I did have the globes apart...it arrived with a couple of dents in the bottom globe and I carefully tapped those out. While the top globe was off I did reseat the tubes and tried to make sure (visually) everything was still connected.

The replacement tubes will be here tomorrow (I hope)...if that solves it I will let you know.
