Parmak rebuild (Parker McCrory)
#9

I had a chance to look through the Riders manuals, the Parker-McCrory schematics were supposed to be in volumes 11-13, but I only found diagrams in volumes 12 and 13, volume 11 had none, and the index doesn't list any in volume 14 or later. The schematics and notes I found were pretty much identical to those posted on Nostalgia Air. However I noticed that the schematics posted for Parker-McCrory dated back to 1936 even though they were contained in the manuals for 1941-42, so for whatever reason Parmak waited 4-5 years before submitting their service data to Riders. As much as I looked I couldn't find a set with that exact tube layout, even disregarding the eye tube, some were close but the chassis layout was also different, and those with a similar chassis layout had differences, such as the location of the filter can, or IF cans, or had two gangs in the tuning condenser rather then three. I could not even find a 6 volt vibrator set with a similar chassis layout, which could have been a lead as to what model this was. If this was made by Parker-McCrory then it's an undocumented model, at least in Riders, or someone substituted a chassis made by another manufacturer into that cabinet. I will look at the schematics for Sentinel and some other independents just in case it is one of those.
