Freed-Eisemann Model 800 (lbs. that is)
Picked this up today from a wonderful e%#* seller. He even drove it most of the way to me for $15. It took both of us to lift it out of his car to mine. Must be over 60 pounds. 8 tube Neutrodyne...3 in the output. Lower left knob is the on/off/meter selector for all of the voltages. Looks like it just came from the dealer. The dial is 0-100 and in meters also. The loop is as perfect as I have ever seen. The cloth wire is darkened with age but flawless.
The chassis is completely shielded...even the underside of the lid has sheet metal. Came with the F-E B/C socket power supply. And a mystery "speaker filter" from General Radio was floating loose in the cabinet. Alas, no speaker though. It is sitting on a Radiola 28 base until it finds a better resting spot. Not much history on it except it came from an auction in central PA. I did a massive internet search and found nothing else like it except for a dealer selling a copy of the service manual. Looking at the schematic on Nostalgiair, I will need it. This one is serial #228. Lot's 'o tracing of discolored battery wires and testing of the PS before I try any power to it. And then I get to neutralize the Neutrodyne circuits. Merry Christmas to all, Dave A |

I'm convinced it was designed by Jules Verne, himself. Great looking. Congrats!
