The export diagram dungeon

Service information for domestic production receivers was sent to all authorised dealers as a matter of course. Manuals for export models were only available on request. So such information is only rarely encountered! If you have anything that you can contribute to the cause I would be most grateful - you will be mentioned in the following pages...

Any pictures of export sets are welcome too!
The Murphy 'S' series.
  • For the most part, these models were identical to the standard models.
    It's quite likely that they would be fitted with a mains transformer suitable for operating on 110v mains.
  • The Murphy SA92 differs considerably from the original A92. It doesn't have a Long Wave band and the dial no longer has a map of the world in the bottom left hand corner. I have yet to find any information on this particular model though I suspect that it can't differ greatly from the TA92 see below...

  • The Murphy TA92, with Oak switch assembly. (399k download size).
  • The Murphy TU92, for use on AC or DC mains. (399k download size).
  • The Murphy TU102A is covered by the U102A (312k download size) and these details of differences TU102A. (85k download size).
  • The Murphy TU102S is very similar to the TU102A.
    It is, however, equipped with Medium and Two general coverage Shortwave Bands.
  • The 126 range comes in a bakelite cabinet with white painted front. Despite appearances,
    this set has much in common with the A104 - both use the same system of mechanical Short Wave bandspreading.
    The 126 does away with the optical projection system in favour of a simple click stop mechanism.
    The TB125 was the first Murphy to be produced for operation solely from an Accumulator.
    The TB127 was a revised version of the TB125. The audio output was altered to utilise
    a QP25 output valve. The revised circuit improved battery life considerably!
    Picture of TA126 provided by Jose Afonso from Portugal - well, they do get about don't they?
  • The Murphy TB125, for use with 6volt accumulator. (371k download size).
  • The Murphy TB127, for use with 6volt accumulator. (400k download size).
  • The Murphy TA126, AC mains receiver. (331k download size).
    I've drawn this diagram myself. It shows only the simplified waveband switching;
    In all other respects I believe it to be reasonably accurate.
  • The Murphy TU126, AC/DC mains receiver. (291k download size).
  • The 128 is in essence a re-boxed 92. The circuit will be similar to the TA/TU92.
  • The Murphy TA132, shares the same cabinet as the later production U102A.
    I would presume you could buy it with a choice of metallic paint finishes...

  • The '153/4 gets a makeover to become the 193/4.
    The works are, identical except for the following minor changes:-
    TB193 Add resistor R10 1M between Aerial and Earth connections, C6 is 470pF, C7,8 & 28 are 0.04µF.
    TA194 C12 is 470pF, C17 is 220pF, C41 is 0.01µF, C16, 29 & 31 are 0.04µF.
    TU194 In addition to changes listed above: C1 & C6 are 500pF, R20 is now designated R29.
    It would seem that this set was available with either Bakelite or Wooden cabinet. I've only encountered the wooden version...
    A departure is the TA194L. The 11 metre bandspread range is dropped in favour of Long Wave.
    Murphy TA194L for use on AC mains. 443k.
