Dumont RA102 "Clifton" restoration

[bandersen]

Stayed up late last night and did the first controlled power up. Quite a beast all up on the workbench.
Power cord and fuse have been replaced.
The three 5U4s were pulled so there is only filament power.


All is well so far. All tubes lit up. The mode switch controlled the dial lamps properly.


Left light when in AM radio mode.
Right lamp for TV/FM modes.


Will proceed with a full power up in AM radio mode next.

I thought the 807 in the power supply was dead, but not quite. Perhaps it will work, perhaps not.
I don't have any spares on hand but a forum member is helping me out.
