This is a transformerless radio and if you intend to run it out of the case for testing, you MUST use an isolation transformer for safety. Is it a field coil speaker? PM speakers are easy to replace. I have the tubes, but there are many other sources online. The dial glass (or plastic cover) is unique and will have to come from a junker. I may be able to find one at the Antique Wireless Association flea market on Thursday. The transformer is probably OK if the resistance readings check out per the schematic. |
Thank you Tom for the great information from your website and answering my questions. Again this is my first restoration project and I know I am going to enjoy this.
The speaker does appear to be attached to a transformer. The speaker's cone is broken and torn in several places. Can I purchase a newer speaker to replace the broken one? Also, the V5 power output tube has a crack in its base. Can you recommend an online source for a replacement? I will gladly pay for the dial face should you locate one.
Again, thank you Tom for your help.
