Hay! You Wanna' See What's in the BOX?
#17

The only failures I've found inside the catacomb have been the interstage transformers. And you really have to dig into it to change those.

I have a couple of 26 "portables". Still trying to find either a complete horn or a horn driver for one of them. In the meantime, I have a 2" transistor radio speaker glued inside the original horn driver encasement, and an output transformer across the output. It sort of works, but I sure want to get it done right some day.

Also trying to find some appropriate material to replace the vibration dampers (lack thereof is keeping me from reassembling the radio and enjoying it). Any ideas?

I find their choice of IF frequency intriguing... 40 KHz. Lets me get strong stations pretty much anywhere on the dial I want. Icon_smile
