I just picked up a KUBA stereo (tube). It's AM/FM/SW/ with a turntable and I am having some issues with it. I need to know where I can get some schematics for it as I do frequently poke around to see if I can fix stuff myself. No worries, I work in electronics so I know what I'm doing, but I'm a young buck who's just recently gotten intrigued with tube radios so I thought I would have a go at it and see if I can get it going. I'm very familiar with radios as I use to fix the solid state ones, but my area of expertise is in Alarms, Phones, Cable TV and Fiber optics.

It's got Promary power, but I can't seem to get the tuner section to light up...... Meaning I got no tubes that are glowing just yet. Hard to tell what the tubes are without a schematic.

The turntable turns, the needle works, the light in the cabinet works just no tuner ..... yet.

Any help or direction as to whom I can talk to would be greatly appreciated.

Two Limone (lemon?) models shown at Radiomuseum.org, but neither has a schematic. '61 / '62 model. You might ask at the forum at antiqueradios.com - there are several European members that might have something.

Hi,

Kuba just made cabinetts and cases for radios. They bought the chassis and the turntable and combinated them.

Donīt know exact, but I think the magic word is "Telefunken".
You have a picture?
Perhaps I can tell you more.

Damned! First post and then itīs wrong!
Kuba made own chassis from the beginning of the sixties...
Ok.
Your radio was also sold as Kuba Imperial Ariane 414, a table radio.

Did I understand you correct: There are no tubes? You need the setup?

Greetings
