1927 Eveready (National Carbon) Model 1 TRF Radio
#28

OK so an update:

I just finished installing the new Plate resistor under where the old one was (it was attached across the terminals for the resistor mount that is ontop of the chassis), and then I hooked the tuner portion of the radio up to the power supply and installed the rest of the tubes into the radio (the ones for the tuner section) and powered it on and monitored the B+ voltage and it was nearly spot on at around 89.7 VDC once everything warmed up.

So it seems that everything is working as it should!  Icon_thumbup  Icon_e_smile

Now all that's left is to wait for my replacement speaker to come in the mail and test the radio out to see if it picks any stations up.  Icon_e_ugeek Icon_e_biggrin
