From: Ron Ramirez Message-ID: Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2005 15:55:52 GMT ...that this set on our favorite auction site is not exactly original? http://tinyurl.com/e2kch It's a 32 volt DC set that has been converted to 110 volt AC operation. Notice the power transformer toward the front of the chassis? This set originally had a (VERY heavy) separate power supply mounted above the main chassis, on those wooden supports with holes drilled for that purpose. Speaker is also not original. At $142.50 and climbing, does anyone notice these these things beside myself? Well, as I have an identical set and it is all original and complete, I guess this means that mine should be worth at least twice that? :-) -- Ron Ramirez - Evansville, Indiana Visit PhilcoRadio.com at http://www.philcoradio.com/ and the new Philco Phorum at http://philcoradio.com/phpBB2/index.php Article: 324401 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "jim menning" References: <1YudnY8_daz9T8jeRVn-gw@giganews.com> <11lcklnfo2do3bf@news.supernews.com> Subject: Re: Free shipping from France!

No bargains and no business. There was a shop in Charlotte that was called Surplus Electronics. A friend took me there my first time in 1975. It was in some old buildings in a run down section of town. It was almost going to the catacombs, the light was bad, when you went in there was a shelf lined with flash lights you could use. It was Feb. the first time I went, it was so sold that there would be ice inside the boxes of goodies. We stayed for hours that first trip. When we got ready to leave, I had a double arm load of treasurers that I wanted but had no idea how much it would cost. The old guy that ran it was standing near the front when I walked up. He said well, well, lets see what kind of goodies you have... I just knew I was going to be disappointed. He looked the load over and said "How about $5". I almost dropped everything I had right there. I was hooked. I went back sometimes several times a week until the mid 80s. Over the years the old guy died, his sons took over. in the late 70s they lost their lease and had to move. Just after the move one of the brothers dropped dead suddenly >from a brain hemorage right there in the store. The other brother Jim, kept it going. To look at him you'd have thought he was right out of the mountains of WV. Everyone was shocked to learn he had a doctorate in intamitmlogy (sp) the study of insects. After a while he took in a partner. The new guy got out the catalogs and started quoting prices no one would pay. It didn't take long before they were gone. It was sad, the place was almost like a continusly running ham fest. There would be several hams and CBers cars in the lot every time you stopped. You never knew what you'd find, but I almost never went there but what I brought something home. I REALLY miss that place.

This set has some of the most amazing mechanicals ever put into a radio. The bandswitch consists of a tray of coils which slide around the bottom of the set on a track driven by a cable. Sounds complicated, but IMHO it is one of the most relaible and indestructable bandswitches ever designed. This is the only set I've ever seen where the tuning and bandswitching is done by the same knob. It's normally set up to tune, but pulling the knob outward and turning it changes the band. The tuning is super smooth, too. And the performance? Very, very good. Well worth the time and effort to make everything trim. -Scott Article: 324432 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: Stein-Olav Lund Subject: Re: AVC?

If it is an audio problem, check the coupling capacitor between first audio tube and output tube grid. Old paper capacitors need (almost)always be replaced here! Pull the output tube and measure voltage on the g1 pin with respect to ground with a DMM, radio switched on. Should be very close to 0 V DC. If not, replace with a modern plastic cap.

Not that specific model - but one of it's ancestors - the NC-120 - or more precisely the military version called an RAO-6. It too has the sliding coil box under the chassis - much the same circuitry. The 120 is really a modified NC-100 - with an added RF front end stage - complete with an extra section for the tuning cap; and an extra section of "coils" across the back. Very good radio - and while a bit more complicated to work on because of that coil box under the chassis - it's well worth the effort. good luck with it. -- Sherry Article: 324439 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: Scott W.

Ding ding ding! That brought back memories of one of my earlier receivers I had back in the late 60s early 70s. The RAO-7. Like setting one of those garden boulders on your desk. But it was stable.

If there are different sizes of numbers for the different bands, just reduce the size of the pasted number to fit.

Posted on Thu, Oct. 20, 2005 PayPal customer records sought in tax evasion probe By Howard Mintz Mercury News The Internal Revenue Service has asked a San Jose federal judge for access to eBay's PayPal customer records as part of a nationwide probe into whether scofflaws are using offshore credit card accounts to evade paying income taxes. In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court earlier this week, the federal government is seeking permission to serve a ``John Doe'' summons on San Jose-based PayPal as part of an investigation into credit card holders who are exploiting bank secrecy laws in dozens of foreign countries. PayPal is the payment processing company owned by online auction giant eBay. Federal investigators, who do not know how many customers of PayPal may be involved, said in court documents that they are seeking records from PayPal because they have no other way to track down the suspected tax evaders who may be using the online payment service to transfer money illegally. ``This case is not only important to the administration of tax laws, it may have significant impact upon the public fisc,'' Justice Department lawyers wrote in court papers. The federal government estimates that $40 billion in tax revenue is lost every year as a result of schemes involving credit cards linked to foreign tax havens. Government lawyers argued that they've served similar papers on credit card companies such as Visa and MasterCard, but investigators say they need more information from PayPal to pin down potential violators. The complaint said the investigation spans from Jan. 1, 1999, to Dec. 31, 2004. PayPal spokeswoman Sara Bettencourt said the company had not yet seen the government's court request and could not comment on it specifically. However, she said PayPal generally cooperates with law enforcement when they seek assistance in particular cases. Contact Howard Mintz at hmintz@mercurynews.com or (408) 286-0236.

I don't know this set in particular, but I see from his first post it seems to be a straightforward set with self bias EL84 (cathode resistor decoupled with an electrolytic), and he has changed the caps. If the fault really is in the audio section, bad caps (the new ones may also be bad!)or a bad speaker etc. like you said may be the cause. The eye tube changes with signal strength, but does the AVC voltage reach the IF (and mixer) tube(s), reducing gain with strong signals? Maybe a wiring error has 'crept in' while doing the recapping? I tried a search for a schem., but found only sources which wanted 5 Euros for them. I see Daniele has asked for a schem. in 1998. Having known the voltages present would have been helpful.

The cartridge however, is probably shot and will need rebuilding. There are no NEW and good cartridges available now. Sylvain has been rebuilding them in the past.

The old Victrolas used steel needles which, in my experience, went bad very quickly, and if you wanted to keep your records in good shape, should be replaced after every play. They were NOT good for the later records (1940's-50's) as the higher modulation could wear them out after playing only about halfway through. Possibly someone else could shed light on this, but I recall seeing ads for cactus needles, and possibly precious stones. It would seem to me that cactus would not hold up as well as steel, but maybe these had a softer volume. In any case, there should be needles available that can play the later 78's, and be a bit more permanent. -- Gary E.

Negative/positive temperature coefficient of zero. Sometimes you don't want a zero coefficient. Capacitance change works inversely to coil inductance change so in an LC circuit the drift (non-NP0) would be desirable. There's probably no rule-of-thumb that will address the question. On many, if not most, disc locations it won't matter at all. If the original is stated as NP0 or N750 you should stick with that.

An Everett Orgatron model 5C, circa late 30's. It has a tube amplifier but uses a set of reeds as oscillators - quite hard to explain. The unit is in rough shape but I'm going to attempt a restoration; I'm sure there aren't many of these left and it would be quite a thing to have working. What I'm wondering is, can anyone provide me with some info on this thing? Some historical info would be nice, but a tube chart (or schematic) would be even better, as one tube is missing and there are no numbers given. Thanks for any advice.

Just like you I will be favorable or critical of any administration.

Sounds good but as I said above, thats party-line parrot-talk. Most people don't feel like the government has been stolen.

WOW!! Wednesday night I was driving home from a car cruise in St. Pete. As I was heading south on I-275, I noticed a police car who suddenly put his lights on. A few seconds later, another car whizzed past me. I saw these lights, a few thousand feet in front of me, until I arrived at the Skyway toll booth. When I got there, the police had the toll plaza blocked off and a silver car, I believe a Chevy, a few booths to the right of me. Police cars were everywhere and they were yelling at someone. The toll booth on the left side was open, so I went through it and kept going. I forgot about it until just now! -- Gary E.
