Radio Servicing Data for Portables

From the classic years of the Portable Radio from 1945 to 1963. These are the sets on sale in the UK within that period.
Both Valve and Transistor portables (as are a few table models with which used the same chassis as portables) are covered (Transistors up until about 1963).
A complementary section to this one covers covers mains radios/radiograms and record players etc by manufacturer and can be found here Manufacturers Index.
Valve Data and Transistor Data will be availiable in the Information section.
Normal battery voltages of 90v for HT and 1.4 for LT (Valve sets only) but early sets can have HT at up to 120v and LT at 2v and very early (eg 1930s need a grid bias supply).
Most radios are Superhet types but a few will be TRF.
There are a few models that share the same (or a modified) chassis. Where possible a circuit will be added to show the differences.
The index is constantly being updated and it will eventually cover all years to 1963. At the moment years 1961 and 1963 are not complete but eventually they will be expanded.
If you see a mistake or have model I missed please email me.
