I thought I'd post a few pictures of my latest purchase for the collectors who like the big floor models. I looked through Mr. Wakeman's book and didn't see anything on Model P-15 so thought someone might have some information or advertising they could help add some detail on this model. It's about the same size as a Cortez. The reproducer is all apart and is packed up to send off to hopefully get rebuilt. Thanks to those who like these big guys.

Re: Panatrope P-15
Sorry, I don't have any information about the P-15. I sure know a beautiful cabinet when I see one. Hopefully, it will sound as good as it looks. Congratulations on such a great find.

Yes, congratulations! I know many of us who love early electronics would be interested to see the chassis, tubes, and wiring. I didn't see the electromagnetic pickup. Did the machine come with that as well?

Re: Panatrope P-15
I've only spotted a couple of references so far, just some Australian newspaper print ads from 1929 mentioning the model P.15 --

Re: Panatrope P-15
Thanks for your comments and links. The pickup, or at least parts of it, are in the plastic bag in the 1st picture that was on CL.
I shipped it off today with the hope that it can be repaired. Here are additional pictures, not the best, but no one is available to help move it.

Re: Panatrope P-15
Inside it looks just like the P-14 I used to own. The P-14 used the "Cortez" cabinet.. This three tube amp is also the same one used in the Victor VE 12-1 "CROMWELL". One UX-216 rectifier, one UX-210 output tube and one UX-199 in a shock mounted carrier.

Re: Panatrope P-15
I took this machine to a local gentleman to have it checked over, and he is unable to find a schematic for it to allow him to get it fixed up. He found info on the RPA 5 and 6 but nothing for the RPA 7A which is in this machine. He cross checked the layout with other schematics and had no luck finding a match.
If anyone has a schematic for the RPA 7A that will allow him to get this machine working, I'd be thrilled to purchase a copy.
Thanks for checking on this-- Steve

Re: Panatrope P-15
You just may have to replace bad components without an official schematic.
What is the tube complement?
