UNKNOWN MINERVA

 

The all of RADIOPHILOS,

They offered me this radio and I intend restore it. But I have a problem; I ignore the model to open a new model and to do uploading of the picture in Rmorg.

Who can help me?

To see pictures:

 

It has the following valves: 6A7 6SK7 6SQ7 25L6 6U5 and I think, that the rectifier is one 25Y5 or a 25Z5, because the reference is illegible.

I judge to be a radio manufactured in America, for the facto to have USA valves.

A thank you very much for yours eventual collaboration.

 Best Regards

Hallo Julio,

Your device is very similar to the Minerva Wien 415GW.

Probably generated at Minerva United States.

Look at the glass scales, it is possible that you will find a description.
Look there ==> Minerva Type number.

Hello Wolfgang,

I thank your fast reply.

I could only now diffuse in the radio in reference, for that I apologize you in of only now to answer.

I disassembled the whole radio and indeed I verified that there were the 4 characters in each glass that composes the dial. As she can verify, for the pictures, in each glass it had the following: in the scale LW it had 415K, MW 415R and in the scale SW 415 it doesn't have letter.

Now being like this, leaning me, that it will be a radio manufactured in the it USA, in fact  can also see in the picture it a condenser electrolytic of 40 MF manufactured in the it USA. And ending will be a Model 415KR. Does agree with me?

King regards

Hello Júlio,

three models, but only one is correct "415W".

I think it's one of the three models. This or this or this.

Soll natürlich "415W "sein.

Hello Arpad,

Thank you for his answer,

The Model, which more approaches in your help, it is the model 415W, because of having the cabinet exactly equal. However, the tubes the chassis, and the components, (boxes of FI's), they are different. For this reason, leaning me, not to attribute the Model correctly, so that I can open in Rmorg a “new model” in the manufacturer Minerva USA.
