    Jeff,
    If you can tell us what the tubes are we may be able to find a schematic.
    Cheers,
    Ian

      Ian thanks

      The PS has one tube the number unreadable

      The Amp has 5 tubes:
      2x 6AU6
      2x 5881
      1x - number unreadable, it's a little larger than the 6AU6's but smaller than the 5581's

        Jeff,
        Sorry I was unable to track it down - the schematics I was thinking of were from the RCA Receiver Manual (RC17 or RC20) of about 1954-55.
        There were 2 variants (both published as variants of the Williamson)
        1st:
        7199 Triode pentode input (pentode common cathode preamp to triode as concertina splitter) to 2 x 6au6 diffamp driver
        2nd:
        Very similar circuit but a 12AU7 twin triode input (common cathode amp to concertina splitter) to 2 x 6AU6 diffamp driver
        Look at that unmarked tube - if it has 2 identical structures in it then it is the 12AU7 twin triode, otherwise it is probably the 7199.
        Sorry I could'nt be more help,
        Cheers,
        Ian

          Ian thanks for your reply - the unmarked tube has the 2 identical structures inside like you said. That would make it a 12AU7
