I'll take a look through my service info for Air-Chief radios and get back to you. There will be a model and serial number stamped onto the radio's case somewhere, and failing that, a small sheet detailing transistor or valve part numbers glued onto the inside of the top cover. I'm guessing it's a hybrid, with twelve-volt valves and a transistor audio amplifier. Rob Title: Re: air chief radio model ? Post by: pbh0069 on May 15, 2017, 12:30:37 PM cheers

no markings on the outside , opened up and found the paper sheet inside looks like the # is A.R.M.1315/279 cheers Phil. Title: Re: air chief radio model ? Post by: KFH on May 16, 2017, 08:52:34 AM Nothing in my Airchief files. Possibly the model number is stamped under one of the brackets. The number is usually quite small in height around 1/8". I have also seen the model number stamped on the base of the radio.

It's an Air-Chief JQY or CQY. Your photos just show the tuner section. You should also have the audio amplifier module, which is an open sheet metal chassis with a transformer on it. Astor designed them as a "universal" radio, they also came out with a six-volt model. The fascia is for FE-FC, and because the radio's wearing Air-Chief badges, I reckon it was sold under the NASCO brand. Did it come with a speaker? The Astor service sheet shows the radio with A-S-T-O-R on the pushbuttons, and a long, narrow Bakelite enclosure for the speaker. I have the servicing information, and can even repair it if needed.

all I have is what is in the photos , I have contacted the person I got it off ( he is cleaning out there fathers shed ) and he's away at the moment , he is going to look for the rest for me when he gets back. if I don't receive the amplifier/power/speaker assembly we will have to make one up. cheers Phil. Title: Re: air chief radio model ? Post by: KFH on May 17, 2017, 08:44:08 AM I have a long narrow speaker assembly if you need one. From the size of the speaker is 7'x5"

will let you know after I find out if the rest of the unit is available. cheers Phil. Title: Re: air chief radio model ? Post by: KFH on May 18, 2017, 09:03:56 AM Correction to my comments on the speaker size. I meant to type 7"x2"
