Emor Radio

[ad_liada]

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.

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.

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.
