Hi all, I have a AWA pressmatic radio (model number 938B) and the wiring input plug has all broken.
I'm chasing a picture of the schematics for this radio if anyone can help.

Thanks

Mal,

I've got a circuit diagram for the AWA 938, but tomorrow I'm going away with work for a couple of weeks.

Instead, go to kevinchant.com and follow the link "Australian Car Radio Circuits" then AWA, then download the file called 938.pdf

 Hi  Mal. If all else fails, then give the following a call.   Nostalgic  Wireless, 63 Silverdale Rd, EAGLEMONT Vic. They have rebuilt a number of car radios for me.... even converted valve to transistor, as well as including AM/FM/IPOD connectivity, [all in the original case].  I found them good to deal with. Naturally, if you are on a "DIY" journey, then this might be your "plan B".  Regards Kevin.

President of QLD FB EK club Greg Bell is an avionics engineer and all over the old radios Mal. You could try their Facebook site, dare I say it.

Mal,

The AWA 938 pushbutton radio came in two versions: 938A, which is a "universal" type supplied with a 5" x 7" speaker; and the 938B, which is intended for Holdens, and is supplied with a 6" x 9" speaker.  The two model numbers are identical electrically.

In short: download the file 938.pdf from Kevin Chant's website.  It's the correct one for your 938B.
