I keep buying consoles
#7

I think that I have the Rogers service folder for this set, although it's labeled under Majestic. It is online too but someone forgot to scan the parts list, which you need to identify the capacitor values. Sent me a P.M with your email and I will scan and send the folder. If this set does use hand wired circuit boards the service folder will NOT show a layout of what is on those boards. What's more they liked using resistors with spade terminals on those boards, which also doubled as tie points, which you need to come up with a substitute tie point for if the resistor has drifted up in value. I drilled out the holes the resistors ran through and inserted 1/8'' metal eyelets to use as tie points, unless that tie point also connected to a wire going elsewhere under the chassis.
There is at least one book on Canadian radios but most lack a certain amount of detail I have been told, I read a review in the AWA Old Timer's Bulletin and there was a certain amount of disappointment There is another Canadian set that works it's way South a fair bit, other then plastic Addisons, the Northern Electric model 1000 series Bakelite sets with a waterfall speaker grille. I think it may be due to the sheer number produced, they basically made the same set, with minor revisions, from 1947-1950, even a series of battery operated versions.
The majority of books about the history of radio in Canada drone on about broadcasting which gets to be a bore. For some reason they think that talking heads from the radio contributed more to Canadian cultural identity then brick and mortar manufacturers and technology.
By the way, make a careful inspection of that Zebrano grained wood around the base before trying to strip, it may be a faux finish rather then real veneer.
