If that's a "serious" question, looking for 77-3 for a Bell 2122 audio amp. (Not 2122A, B or C, just 2122).
I think I see it -- driver's side, stack 3, second file from the bottom. It's the tan one.

You're fortunate that folks are pitching traditional file cabinets left and right. It'll probably take about 6 of 'em to hold all that.

I actually ordered 20 banker's boxes from Office Depot, they'll be in tomorrow. Thank God!

I'm completely serious. I just went through the 700s, 800s, and 900s and have 6 banana boxes full of doubles :eek:

I'll be glad to see if I have yours once I get down to the low numbers. Anyone else?

More may come to mind.

Unfortunately no....the numbers are pretty full right up till about 1200, and then they get really spotty.

Do you have '526-SED'?

Kamakiri

Skips from 1215 to 1281.....

I should have folder 526 easily, but what's "SED"?

WISCOJIM
05-25-2016, 11:08 AM
"Special Equipment Data reprinted from the manufacturer (usually a schematic only)."

These were like an additional newsletter included in some sets to add circuit changes or to cover equipment that Sam's themselves never did a folder on.

:( I'll have to go with a nearest neighbor.

Do you have '221-7'?

'304-10' or '153-8' Might also work, depending on the chassis series covered.

madRad45
06-18-2016, 12:00 PM
Colectorad, I have a full 526 set. The "Photofact Servicer" sheet includes a schematic for Majestic Models 78, A, 79, 81 thru 86, 88 (Series 123-17, 124-21, 124-2-21). Is that what you're looking for? If so, PM me your e-mail and I'll send you a scan. Have to keep the original, its my only copy.

Got your PM, sorry about the lag....I started a living room repaint and two Admiral 19A11s at the same time and got myself buried! :)

Figured I might as well answer here, because you never know....someone else in the future might be looking for it too. There's a Victoria model TR650 in Sams 520-16, which would be 1961.....but that's a transistor radio. Any chance there's any more manufacturer info on it?

Hi Tim , Thank You for responding and believe me , I have no problem whatsoever with the time since I posted being only last night and your response . I realize life is a buisy endeavor and I appreciate the help !

So , this was made by "Victorian Electronics LTD. Peoria , Illinois" and is serial number H36626 .

I got the 1963 year from an Ebay listing that was selling the exact same machine and the owner's manual being sold with it said it was a 1963 model . Of course I got mine at a yard sale , minus the manual , microphones , power cord , and any other accessories that may have originally came with it .

Edited to add photo :)

You need to search Allied and Lafayette catalogs from that era - they sold odd-named audio equipment by the droves. We used to find info that way, or an identical model rebadged as a Lafayette/Concord/Knight/Realistic, etc, that was listed in Sams. Often one manufacturer, many names....

Cheers,

Thank You for the tip Brian , I'll bet this was sold as a few different brands because when I typed reel to reel tape recorder into Ebay's searchbar , I saw a couple that looked like mine but with different names , I'll have to go search them up again and note the different labels .

Hi Colectorad, I emailed the scan on 06/20 to the address you PM'd to me. Maybe there was some sort of issue, but I did not receive a "bounce" message or anything. Shall I try again? I'll also PM you my direct e-mail.

**Update!**

Sorry for the delay. As madRad45 stated, he did indeed send the scan immediately on June 20th, however, it would appear that 'Outlook.com' completely blocks messages with attachments from unknown senders. It didn't even reach my junk folder. When he re-sent me the message without the attachment, it ended up in my inbox with no issues. I then added him to my 'safe senders' list and he was able to send the file with no issues.

Thanks again to madRad45 and Kamakiri for their hard work and generosity!

Hi Tim ,

would you happen to have ;

Sams # 836-8 for the GE T1225A AM FM radio ?

I'd like to restore this one because it uses both the usual 35W4 / 50C5 , 12AV6 , 12BE6 and 12BA6 for the AM portion but uses transistors for the FM portion (near as I can tell) .

Thank You .

What's the set? I don't have the Sams either (1443-1489 are MIA...) but I may have it in Tekfax, OEM manual, or PDF....

I go from 307 to 2025, pretty continuous, minus holes in the 1200-1500 region. Dad had a loaner service for Sams, and when he closed up in 2008, he still had ~160 folders out on loan - he let them keep them, hence my holes, particularly for more common sets in the 1700-1800 series Sams...not to mention the ones I'g provided to others..

I have the folder guide, and it's not anywhere in the Sams that I can see.....goes from 528.51240 to 528.51340 and both of those are 1958 model year. Double check the model number....... :)

Sams folder 1214-3.

Sears numbers are tricky to navigate in the index. You have to find the 528. section, and then use the next digits as if they are separate numbers. 51240 and 51340 are equivalent to 51,240 and 51,340.

528.51330113 requires you to first find the 528. section, and then the number 51,330,113 (which is way larger than 51,340). Look again, and you'll see how it seems screwy as you can't assume the numbers to the right of the decimal point are fractions.

Sure do. It's all properly sorted and in boxes. I've helped out a lot of people both here and on the Vintage Television Collectors group on FB with them :)

I need a Sams 718-9 or a scan of one. A good scan would do and could be emailed to me.
Thanks

I notice Tim hasn't been around for some time - has anyone else got a Sams library on their hands?

Do you have the SAMS for a Zenith Model/Chassis H2437R Porthole TV? I believe the model was called “Irving” Thanks!

Have you checked here? http://earlytelevision.org/tv_schematic_diagrams_zenith.html

The number you posted is a model number. A porthole Zenith has a chassis number in the format of ##X## where #is a numeral 0-9 and X is a letter A-Z (though Zenith skipped letters that look like numbers such as I and O).
In any model year Zenith would have around 1-4 different monochrome TV chassis numbers and those 2-ish different chassis would go into 100s of distinctly different looking cabinet options each cabinet having its own number to distinguish it. When asking electronic repair questions it's always better to post the chassis number (if you know or can find it) because it's more widely recognized/remembered by those who have worked on one.

I might have one I could take a pic of if you only need the information.

I also have some later SAMS from the 60s and 70s that I haven't tossed (yet). If anyone wants an original SAMS just to have because they're cool, let me know. Anything I have left is available for the asking.

Do you have a Sams for a Magnavox T-925 chassis? It's a 13/14 inch black and white portable from the late 1960s.
