Decca AW6 Service Manual HERE

This is a beautiful vintage radio from the late 1930s and I'm looking forward to restoring it. The cabinet has a few scuff marks but nothing too serious. The speaker is a field coil type where the coil acts as the HT smoothing choke as well as an electro magnet for the voice coil. It's really nice to see Athlone printed on the dial - Radio Athlone 531 metres, 565 kc/s. The radio works very well, even though I've not started work on it. Rather a nice find, I thought.

On the tuning dial are the words... Celluloid Printers Ltd. Surbiton Surrey.

 

 

 

READ THIS IMPORTANT WARNING NOTICE

ONLY BUY A RESTORED RADIO FROM A COMPETENT RADIO ENGINEER
ONLY HAVE YOUR RADIO REPAIRED BY A COMPETENT RADIO ENGINEER

Many early mains radios have a live chassis. That means that the metal work inside the radio may be LIVE (connected to the mains) and it can KILL YOU if you come into contact with it. Exposed screws or any other metal work on the outside of the cabinet or fascia of the radio must be checked for safety by a competent engineer.

DO NOT CONNECT ANY EXTERNAL WIRING TO ANY SOCKETS ON YOUR RADIO UNLESS THE RADIO HAS BEEN CHECKED AND CERTIFIED AS SAFE BY A QUALIFIED ENGINEER

If in any doubt, consult a qualified radio engineer.
