Pye 18A Service Manual HERE

This is a basic four valve superhet radio but, with an eight-inch speaker in the large cabinet, it sounds wonderful. The mains transformer is massive and more than capable of supplying the current needed. One thing that is interesting is the EBL31 audio output valve which also contains a double diode for detection and AGC. Quite an ingenious idea, I reckon. This is a beautiful radio which is now working really well but, there is one slight problem... The back panel is missing. Have you got one that you'd like to sell?


 


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.
