Well, radio arrived safely in the mail today.
Case is pretty rough, as stated.
I pulled mine down, which I haven't had open in years.
You'll never believe this!
Mine has an original 9 volt battery plugged in, dead as a door nail!
It had leaked, and, other battery clips are ruinned, as are their mounting studs in case.
The diagram shows it uses 6 D cell batteries, sayd nothing about a 9 volt battery.
And, that battery, I've never seen anything like it in my life!
It's about 6" long, is Eveready, and, has a long number on it. I doubt it could still be purchased.
It snaps into those other battery clips.
Is the radio supposed to take the 6 batteries, and, the 9 volt, or, what??
All battery clips are connected with wires, and, that 9 volt battery is connectedwith that 2 prong plug.
Is this a 9 volt radio, or, higher than that?
I know back in the early days the first transistor radios work on something like a 90 volt battery.
Is this an 18 volt radio,or, what??
Anybody got a schematic on this set?
Looks like an interesting radio to me....
