Hello to all.
I am restoring a Corvette 62 Delco Wonderbar AM radio. Lots of work, it actually works now, at least most of it.
The driver transformer, item 92, sits between DS 26 and DS 501 transistors has been removed by a previous person who tried to repair , and can not be found.
Have used a similar transformer and all is well, but it does not fit mechanically, too big.
Does anybody know where a spare can be obtained. I will of course pay a fair price and also cost of shipping it to Sweden.
The wonderbar tuning actually works quite well know. Lots of capacitors and three of the 5 transistors replaced. It is going back in a very nicely repaired 62 Corvette, even has knock off hubs!

Can not upload the pdf schematic in pdf?

Ola,
Can you post a picture of the part and the value of the transformer ? If you want to send me a pdf of the schematic send me a PM and I will get you my e-mail address. I have a lot of old parts and some sources.

You might try posting in one of the forums on antiqueradios.com, and also looking at radiodaze.com and other supplier sites. I restored a 1938 RCA console radio last year and found that the folks on these radio forums were extremely helpful. Some of the parts you need for the car radio might be identical to what was used in table or console radios.
