The Murphy A186 is a British AC mains table radio, introduced in 1951. Murphy described it as a deluxe “baffle” receiver: its cabinet design was intended to give good sound. It receives medium wave, long wave and short wave broadcasts.
The UK version has six valves: 6C9, 6F15 or 6F16, 6LD20, 6P25, 6M1 tuning indicator, and UU9 or EZ40 rectifier. It runs on 200–250 V AC.
There was also an A186 built in Dublin, with some differences in its valves and circuitry. Have any example checked before powering it up.
The service manual for this radio is available in the Members’ Area.
