Hullo everyone,
I found an American Bosch Model 802 set at our local swapmeet yesterday ,complete with cables and head unit.Pleasingly it seems to be original inside too. It seems to date from about 1936.I have tried to find the schematic on Riders but with no luck so far . Do I lookup "A" for American or "B" for Bosch? Neither so far seems to have yielded any details.
The name "Essex" appears on a paper tag inside the set but my feeling is that Essex cars were no longer produced in 1936.Perhaps this was just a model name for the set and it had no connection to Essex or Hudson.I have a schematic from Radiomuseum but often the Riders entry shows more. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Sorry to hear of your atrocious weather you are having.
All the best,

Find
