[QUOTE="El Sid, post: 1005483, member: 18550"] But there was no indication as to what model it was. It took about 2 hours on the internet, but eventually found it on radiomuseum.org after ploughing through many models. It is a Lafayette M-39 or 41 or 43 from 1935 - can't find out exactly what the differences are. See https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/lafayette_m41.html?language_id=5 [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/5TeXPwel.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/zH2fmn1l.jpg[/IMG] Even found a schematic: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/MTha9iz.jpg[/IMG] So restoring this is quite a daunting prospect. The valves i don't think are easy to get if any are broken. There is no speaker, and it is a field coil speaker. I have no idea if you can just stick something else in - Murphy says no. Almost every single cap will need to be replaced. The cabinet will need a lot of work - it is severely delaminated. I am going to have to think about it. [/QUOTE]
