DuMont RA113 saved from becoming an aquarium!

Progress!

I have a complete RA111 chassis on hand for parts. It uses the same power transformer as the RA112/113.

My first Mouser order got cancelled, due to alot of substitutions on their part. Not a problem, though.

I will install the transformer and leave out the rectifier for now. Replace the 7-8 electrolytics, and go from there. I've gotten alot of PM's about DuMonts and quality.
I look forward to seeing the soft glow of the chassis... minus B+ for right now.

The RA111 chassis has a fuse socket mounted on the chassis. It is much newer than the chassis. I will be fusing my set, too. I sure dont want anything like this to happen again. 2010 has been my year of bad power transformers. But, its also been good as I have found replacements for them. I have my friends here at VK, and ARF, to thank for this!

More to come, as it happens...
