View Full Version : Help needed to ID a 7" Teletone

I recently picked up a second 7" electrostatic Teletone portable for which I can not find a correct schematic. Cabinetwise it looks identical to a Model TV-208TR but the chassis are different. I have both the Sams and the Teletone factory schematics for the 208 and both of them are different! The sweep chassis on this set has the following tube line-up: 25Z6, 6X5, two 6SL7s and two 12SN7s. There are no numbers stamped on either of the two chassis in either set.

Normally I could recap this thing without the schematic but both of these sets have been messed with and there are wires going nowhere. I have worked on dozens of 7 inch sets of all makes over the years and have never seen the mess that I see in the Teletones.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

BTW, I posted this as well in the Antique Radio Forum but that forum never seems to work.

Could this have the same or similar chassis as the Sentinel 400 series?

Do you have a set of Riders TV? You could leaf through Vols 2, 3, and 4, and I bet you'll find it. Probably a weird late revision, etc.

I have a complete set if you want to drop by!

Tony:

The Sentinels are quite different from the Teletones. Teletone made some of the early sets for Sears Silvertone but the schematics I have for those are also different.

I am missing Volume 3 of the Riders but John Folsom looked through his and could not find the correct one.
