Not all Cossor Sets had official service manuals which are numbered starting SM. As far as I have been able to discover so far prior to 1929 Cossor only produced Radio Kits.
The first factory built set the "Cossor Regional
Reciever". This was available in the Oak case shown and a blue
metal case similar to that of the 1930 Cossor Melody makers. The
metal case version does not have an internal loudspeaker. These
were 2 valve mains receivers first shown at Radiolympia 1929. The
Oak cased version was known as the "All-in" in the Cossor 1929
Radio Products catalogue. I originally thought that these sets used
the Synchronous Control Unit as used in the 1930 Melody Maker kit
set but strong evidence shows that not to be the
case.
To the Left is the Cossor Regional
Receiver Known as the "All-in" picture from Wireless World 1929
Radiolympia edition September 1929. There is a picture of an actual
set in Johnathan Hills Radio Radio Fig 274 Although difficult to
see in this picture the escutcheon is identical to that used on the
1930 Melody maker kit sets.
Two Valve All Electric Receiver.
The 1929 Catalogue describes this as being in a two tone
blue Metal cabinet with a Silver Escutcheon. I have seen reference
to it being sold in other colours but this is not listed in the
catalogues I have.
Post 1930 Sets
If the number under the set has a red colour rather than black then I have already uploaded the service data. In some cases I have linked to the nearest match.
