1930 Sparton AM radio
This is from around 1930...I got it in a pawnshop in Alamogordo New Mexico a few weeks ago for $50. The only problems with it was that a resistor had broke loose on one end and somehow this was overloading the filter caps causing them to smoke. Installed new caps and fixed resistor. This set apparently had a relatively recent repair job on it. It is a TRF set and the volume control varies the gain of the RF amp tubes and not the audio directly. It uses some real antique tubes...has 2 directly heated triodes for output that still work great. The original 1930 power cord and plug was still working but I replaced it with a modern one for safety.

Inside view. I have the escutcheon that goes on the front but have not mounted it yet.

No...sorry, not for sale. These things are as rare as hens' teeth around here and this is the only unit of its type that I have.
