"Charles - Your 12 tube Scott has a lot in common with a basic 5 tube table radio - except more tubes, enhanced engineering and superior design. I had no technical background 30 years ago but did some reading and asked questions. You have a wider…"

"Hello Dave
If I decide to try and take on a restoration, this is definitely the place to go.
I love collecting old fans, radios and lamps. I have never even tried to restore a radio before. It may be something I would enjoy if I tried.
I tried…"

There is help here. You can try a search for AW-12 and the similar AW-15 for threads with photos and hints. This chassis has good access inside to most caps that need replacement. In addition to the obvious ones underneath, there is one inside each IF transformer can - the middle 3 across the back of the receiver. Those large chrome cans are press fit and cover a number of coils and such.
Regarding the coil wheel inside, you will need to dismount it to access a couple caps. CAUTION move the band switch to full counter-clockwise (broadcast band) before you dismount the coil wheel and do not turn that pointer knob until you have re-mounted the coil wheel. WHY ? because that assembly also has a shaft into the overhead antenna coil that operates a switch, there which can be broken if the coil wheel drive is disturbed.
But first, print off the an owners manual for an Allwave Deluxe with AVC (Automatic Volume Control) to get familiar with features and the control functions. You will also find technical info and circuit diagram for the model using a blue glass Wunderlich tube (3rd back on the left side).
