Does anybody have a better scan of Sams 59-2 than what's on the ETF website?
Thanks.

Thanks.

The biggest problem that I see with the ETF copy is missing info in the page fold.... just where does that B+ connect, anyway?

Perhaps this will help

Thanks guys.

I've ordered the HV caps, 630V caps, and picked the other stuff from Mouser. They are only a 20 minute drive away! Will Call so there is no shipping.

Working on stuffing the 3 section E-Cap C1. Pics to follow.

Been busy over the holiday. Things have settled down a bit.
I re-stuffed C1 with 3 Nichicon 10k hour caps in the usual manner that I do.





Then I labeled all the components like I usually do.



I noticed that the 3 wires coming from the HV coil going to the Osc. 6V6 tube were hard and the insulation just crumbled away. So I'm in the middle of replacing those wires along with the HV wire going to the plate cap of the 1B3GT. That wire was cracking too.

Very cool set! I've been after a tabletop set like that for a while. Those crumbly rubber wires remind me of that Philco radio I restored

Continued success with the resto. That is one of the best of the small early post-war 7" sets. I was watching mine the other day and they perform so well. This one was from the son of the original owner, from the original house and never stored away! The picture, as usual, looks more washed-out than it really is:

Thanks for the kind words. Your set looks awesome!

I think it is a cool set too! Yeah, the Philco crumbly wires on 38 and 39 radios!
