Unidentified recent acquisition. Identified as an Etronic HTA531.
Hello
I have just acquired this set, it appears to be complete except for the back panel and that the output transformer has been replaced. It is a Bakelite set and the valve line up is 6X5GT,6K8GT,6P7GT 6J7G and 6V6. However,I have no idea whatsoever of its make and model and I am rather hoping that someone here will be better informed than I am. Waiting in anticipation! Philip |

Re: Unidentified recent acquisition
My guess would be an Etronic, the scale is similar to the RA640.

Re: Unidentified recent acquisition
Having an RA640 next to the computer helped!

Re: Unidentified recent acquisition
I was given this set as a chassis with no cabinet or dial in a recent post. I can confirm
that the Lectrona output transformer is the original. |

Re: Unidentified recent acquisition
Ah, its all in the camera angle, the replacement o/p tx is hiding behind the 6V6, but thank you for your interest!
