Chris' Old Radios
|
As found June 2000 awaiting it's turn on the bench
*UPDATE*
This radio is finished and awaiting me to take new pictures.
The electronics required little work, capacitors all around, 2 39/44s
and a 36 to replace 24As that someone had attempted to use.
The missing shadow meter posed the biggest challenge.
Found a used unit but no lens, wired it back into the circuit
and nothing, after a day or two poking around I
discovered someone had directly wired the AVC bus to
ground! Not good especially if you want a shadow meter
to work properly. The lens was replaced with a small
piece of dial material donated by a fellow collector.
The material is available from AES. |
