1936 Kadette "Jewel"
Once in a while I get to cross-off a wish-list radio and this is one of those times. It's a 1936 Kadette "Jewel" model 40. It was in dirty "as-found" condition when I got it. It just needed a good cleaning a polishing. The chassis is completely original and even the cloth cord and long antenna wire is in great shape. There was MANY color variations! I've realized that this one I have doesn't have the more typical solid color grille, but a more swirled type.

I looked up the schematic, it's in Riders 6&7. The power cord is the resistance type, 300 ohms. Did you try it? Does it work? :scratch2: |
Very nice!

The resistance element was made of an iron alloy, that was subject to rusting open. You can still use the cord, but only use the two line leads. I use the capacitor-reactance method of heater dropping, about 12.3 mfd for your heater string. :thmbsp: BTW, the 12A7, rectifier and output tube is quite novel! |

International Radio had specially designed parts to fit the small chassis, used in their sets. :scratch2: |

By using the regular hank antenna, if should pick up most of the locals and a few of the "clear channel" distant stations. |

I looked at the pictures on the old radio website, which were great. Interesting set and a great find. :thmbsp: |
