RCA Victor Console "The Coppelia" Model SHC-661

I just took ownership of my father's RCA Victor console, I believe it dates from the late 50's or early 60's. I haven't been able to find much info on this particular model, "The Coppelia", SHC-661 (Canadian). Unfortunately it hasn't worked for years and my Dad's earlier attempt at repairs many years ago served only to mess up the original amp wiring. My local shop says they probably need a schematic to effect a repair, so I'm trying to track something down. If not, I may have to strip it for parts and turn it into a sideboard, lol. I think one of the reason's my Dad kept it around so long was for that purpose, it does have nice classic lines with the basketweave.
It would be a shame to part it though as I seem to remember it having good sound in my youth (AM, FM and records). It is a 5 speaker design with one large woofer (10-12"?) set in the center.
Anyway I thought I would post some pics to see it anyone would have other information on this model, or maybe where to look. The only other model info I found on the backboard was "RCA 1040714-20".
I don't have a pic of the amp chassis as it is in the shop, but will post one if any replies think it will help or be of interest.
Thanks

Just curious, can you describe how or why it didn't work? Tube amps are the easiest to work on (at least for me), even without the schematics!

We were getting a loud low hum and no other sound. I think the fix my Dad tried was replacing or bypassing a capacitor. He was an electrical engineer and liked tinkering with stuff, old TVs, radios, etc., but didn't have much success with reviving his old console. Unfortunately I don't have his background in electronics to do much, I play some guitar, so am familiar with tube amps as a player, but not enough to get under the hood.
If I get a chance the next few days, I'll post pictures of the amp chassis (top & bottom).
Thanks

The loud hum is a bad power filter capacitor. No offense , but don't you think if your dad was an electrical engineer that he would have been able to find the hum problem? :scratch2:

It can only be a bad cap, a bad ground, or a bad tube, although the first two mentioned would be the most likely! :thmbsp:

Thanks for the reply, I think the bad cap was the original problem he tried to fix maybe 20 years ago. He may have tried replacing an old cap for another old cap from his parts box, rather than trying to get a new filter cap. He's 91 now and just can't remember well the exact problem or what he did in the fix attempt, lol.

Sams won't be any help for a Canadian model - tubes are same as RS-177 amp but layout is different. That amp schematic might be close enough...

(edit) No, I found one of these amps on eBay... this is a THREE channel amp - right, left, center. You might ask at pacifictv.ca - they seem to have a lot of Canadian schematics.

We had a similar RCA console stereo in the 60's. Not great.

I have the exact same model and trying to revive it now. A guy in town has thousands of tubes and I was able to replace a faulty one with an original RCA tube, new - and am getting radio reception. Now, only my woofer works - the other speakers (4 smaller ones) do not. My tube guy says I should first test all the tubes (17 of them) and replace those in the latter stages of their useful life. If that doesn't work - he says to contact an electronics guy.
