Armstrongs Vintage Radio Model EXP 125/2CP

Armstrongs  Vintage Radio Model EXP 125/2CP

Hi, Guys, This is an early Armstrong Radio Tuner and Amplifier Model EXP/2CP which was built around 1948.  It is in two units, one of the units is the multi-band tuner shown here. You can see in the picture to the right the plugin lead from the Amplifier below.

Also, you can see that I have 4 Knobs missing, that I need to find from somewhere, also I need to know what the Knobs are for and what does what to restore this radio. This is an early Armstrong Radio Tuner and Amplifier Model EXP/2CP which was built around 1948.  It was in two units, one of the units was the multi-band tuner and preamplifier section, shown to the Right. ( at the Back of the Tuner there are two jacks named "PU" and "AE" can anyone tell me what they are? )

 Tuner-Control Unit:

6F15 RF amplifier
6C9 Frequency changer
6F15 1st IF amplifier
6F15 2nd IF amplifier
6LD20 Detector, AGC rectifier, and 1st AF amplifier
6F13 (?) 2nd AF amplifier
6M1 Tuning indicator

Amplifier-Power Supply Unit:

6LD20 (triode section only) Phase splitter
6P25 x 4 Parallel push-pull output
UU7 x 2 Rectifiers ( input by www.vintage-radio.net/forum member) Synchrodyne













And this is the power Amplifier shown below in the picture. The amplifier plugs into the multi-band tuner, but that’s all I know, I don’t know where or how or where the Speaker fits in or if it is fully complete. I am hoping that someone could share any information about this particular model as I hope to somehow get it working, if you do know anything at all please share. thanks.

I have uploaded  more photos of this Radio as it is now very rare and this blog hopefully will be of help to someone one day. 

Most likely the only one left in the World, but if you know different let me know.
