I've been working on this NZ "Cash Radio Co" model from the mid-30's... unknown details but its a 6 valve with absolutely horrible construction and so many faults and open coils I wanted to throw it away several times... it was only the dial that kept me going... and even that took me a day to rebuild... But it was worth it.

There are no personal problems that can't be overcome with the liberal application of high explosives

Philco 91 Tuning Condenser

| Yes, in those it is.
In 20/90 it is a metal spring that holds the rotor in the cradles of the outer walls.morzh — 01:39 PM |
