Looking at a Zenith 6D030 schematic; http://www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByModel/063/M0025063.pdf your description of the circuit makes sense. The value of the "tap" would be too low to be of any effect as a standard "choke". Some sort of clever "humbucking" circuit. It's pretty efficient as I remember having to beef up the filtering and ended up using a choke to filter the hum after finding out the reason I had no output was a shot OP transformer. I heard those radios are prone to that problem. Probably happens when the filter caps fail. Fragile winding I suppose. Did you get my last email and settled on a hosting provider ? My offer still stands if you need it. Syl Article: 338616 of rec.antiques.radio+phono Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2006 00:39:35 -0400 From: Tom Adkins Subject: Re: WHAT A MESS !

I recall reading that it was another manufacturer (Gramophone (?), or possibly a German sounding company (Berliner?)) No, it wasn't either one of those. When I read this I just recall being really surprised because I also thought it was Edison. The other name is on the tip of my tongue\brain but I can't quite pull it out.

If it plays a little I would try to allign the IF transformers, and others could explain that proceedure better, as well as the rest of the allignment steps. Just from what you said, my uneducated guess is that it is just too far out of allignment to get a signal through... maybe someone has turned some screws without following the right proceedure . at least if you get some signal it is encouraging, easier to see if you are making it better or worse...better than trying to figure out why you get no sound :) Phil Article: 338626 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Steven" Subject: Re: Victrolas, anyone?

E-bay prices are often not reflective of reality. Too many fools believe that they have to "win" by paying more money than anybody else and they even compete for this privilege. We all like to gripe about AES here but their prices on tubes and parts are often much less than the "going" price on E-bay and AES even backs them up with a guarantee and some deep stocks. And for better or worse, many items can yield substantially more total cash if "parted out" on E-bay rather than sold as a single intact operating unit. Just remember: don't let E-bay define your collecting/restoring/enjoying experience. Remember why you originally got involved. Tim.

Message-ID: Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2006 12:26:19 GMT That was one thing about tape recorders, you could get away with a reel that's too small provided you keep it playing at normal speed. Don't let it slack, and when you're done, be really careful handling it. Mason Dixon, a popular DJ in Tampa, has a log recording of another DJ he likes to pick on. This guy started in the 70's as a late night personality. As was typical at the time, the station used carts for most of their playlist, and had a multiple-cart player. These things were great when they worked, but if they acted up, usually you had problems with all the cart bays. Well, one night he began to play a song and it jammed. He made a cute comment, then put on another song -- it also jammed. He put on a third, a fourth, a fifth, and with each one it kept jamming. He tried to play a commercial -- anything to get his live voice off the air for a few minutes while he regained his composure, but it couldn't be done. There were no techs on site, no managers, nobody else to jump in and take over, so he just kept on going, jamming and stumbling. Every so often Mason plays a portion of this -- it's funny as heck. Although a piece of history, I doubt if these things will ever have much collector value. I've got a Spotmaster stereo recorder/player, and have thought about using it when I mobile DJ at car shows, but I've decided against it. It's heavy and bulky, and it has little visual impact. When I play records people see the stack of 45's, and they watch them spin on the turntables, but the only thing that you see moving in a cart player is the VU meters. -- Gary E.

Message-ID: <6WHzg.4077$cj7.2602@trnddc01> Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2006 12:37:22 GMT I hate it when a radio does this -- but it happens. The worst part is that it's often intermittent. First thing to check, does the noise get louder or softer with the volume control, or is it constant? If constant, the source is coming from the audio amp, otherwise it's being picked up in the RF/IF. From there you could try grounding grids (via capacitor of course) to isolate the stage. (If it's got a power transformer you could isolate the stage by pulling tubes) If the radio goes silent but the noise persists, it's coming from somewhere after that point. The source itself could be a tube, could be a capacitor, or could be a bad solder connection. Don't overlook ground lugs that are riveted to the chassis -- these are notorious for the problem. -- Gary E.

The diode will reduce the voltage by .707, or to about 85 volts for 120 volts in. And almost no heat is produced in the process. Then you recalculate your power resistor based on an input of 85 volts vs. 120 volts. Looks like about 115 ohms and 10+ watts - about half of what was required before.

XM, of course, is served up as a digital signal. I'm not sure how much bandwidth is allocated to the stations, as XM does not divulge that information. I can tell you that XM Online (delivered over the Internet) is served at 32kbps which isn't great, but here they obviously have an incentive to minimize bandwidth use. The actual physical receivers that pick signal off the satellites have better bandwidth. My best guess is that the music stations are compressed less than the talk stations, and are probably somewhere in the 128kbps range. That said I'm not a critical listener so I don't notice any problems either way. But I presume you are; you may wish to google for XM+compression for others' comments about this. The big challenge in dealing with satellite radio is siting the antenna to keep the packet drop rate below 7%, at which point the sound begins to drop out. Ideally the antenna is set up outside and facing southwest, just like a satellite TV antenna.

Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 12:30:24 -0400 Message-ID: with the set on, rock those minature tubes with your finger tip (dont touch anything grounded, this is a hot chassis set). If you hear a lot of static, the sockets are dirty, very common problem. Just rocking the tubes will usually cure it, but its best to spray the TUBE PINS ONLY with D5 Deoxit or similar and insert them into the sockets. Very common problem with German sets too.

There was a young fellow who got a part time job at a Christian radio station. Working at these stations can be easy enough; all you do is put on a record every half hour and give a station ID in between. Well, it was lunch time, so as he did every day he put on a program, locked up the place and took his girlfriend down to the local drive-in. While there the carhop came over and told him he was wanted on the phone. He went inside and picked it up -- it was the station manager. He basically said, "You will drop what you're doing, you will go back to the station, you will fix the problem, and THEN you're fired!"

The tuner's sound (both direct out and FM) is pretty good, particularly given the limitations of satellite radio's bandwidth limiting (dependent on the program material). If you are sensitive to such things, you may notice some MPEGlike "artifacting" on things like piano music. I would describe this as modulating the music with kind of a gritty, "underwater" sound. Since the broadcasters use less compression on things like classical music it's generally not that bad, but it can be annoying on some pop music because that's apparently delivered at a lower bandwidth. BTW, although this particular product was designed for use in the car as well as at home, using the built-in FM transmitter to send the signal around the house (to a bedroom radio for example) is NOT possible, as the optional home kit's stock docking cradle has NO antenna(!). I added a short external wire antenna to the cradle myself and now it works great. I have no idea why this was omitted, as it is my understanding that some other brands -like Clarion- do have this (are you listening, Kenwood?). Reception of both Sirius terrestrial and satellite signals (the radio detects both) was impressive here in Los Angeles, generally staying in at least the 60% - 80% range on one signal or the other while the car was in motion, all the while silently switching between them to avoid the VERY occasional dropout. Home reception was equally good, but the antenna needs to be located near a window facing in the proper direction to "see" the satellite. If this isn't possible, good indoor reception may depend entirely on the presence of a strong terrestrial transmitter, and only the larger US cities currently have these. -S Article: 338662 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Mike Koste" Subject: A Major Tube Cache Date: 1 Aug 2006 12:51:10 -0700 Message-ID: <1154461867.979007.286480@m73g2000cwd.googlegroups.com> (Not mine) Why bid on a wimpy little boxlot when you can have a crack at this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ROOM-FULL-of-vacuum-tubes-Radio-TV-Audio-HiFi_W0QQitemZ190015582568QQihZ009QQcategoryZ67816QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Mike Koste Gobs of Knobs Ambler, PA Article: 338663 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Mark Oppat" References: <1154461867.979007.286480@m73g2000cwd.googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: A Major Tube Cache Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 16:43:45 -0400 Message-ID: I have bought a few lots like this.

Johnny Paycheck had just recorded, "Take this job and shove it". I called the local country station and requested it. The DJ said, No problem! I'll play it as soon as this song is over. I asked him to dedicate it to the second shift at CE, and hung up. When the current song ended I dialed the plant wide PA system and laid the telephone mouthpiece on my transistor radio. All over the plant you could hear, "This is for the guys and gals working second shift at CE! followed by, "Take this job and shove it". It took almost 10 minutes for the applause to die down. ;-) -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A.

Another one that happened in an Ontario town of about 50,000 back over 30 years ago goes like this: The morning man on the local radio station was ready to go to commercial. He had a commercial cartridge all cued up in the machine. He hit the "start" button. The commercial started, ran for about three seconds, then stopped. He hit the button again, and the commerical started again from where it left off the first time, ran for another three or four seconds then stopped again. He repeated his button push a couple more times with the same results. He had left his mike open, because you then heard some banging around on the console and then this absolutely despairing voice saying: "Oh Jesus Christ Almighty, what's the matter with this Goddamn thing?" And then silence. He must have realized what he'd done and closed his mike. That was the last broadcast by that morning man at that station. Doug, VE3SPF.

Nobody has a use for such a huge quantity even if they were all desirable tubes which I really doubt most of them are. Anyone who buys them then has to take the effort to sort through thousands of tubes and sell them in smaller batches. The price on huge quantities of anything is normally pennies on the dollar compared to the retail price of singles and there's a good reason for it. Now if they were all Nixie tubes, they might stand a chance of selling, but plain old radio and TV tubes? No way, might get a few tens of dollars for a box full of unsorted but otherwise it'd be a lifetime of picking through piles of worthless stuff looking for the gems.

I would have gone with Sirius, but XM has Baseball an my wife and I are Yankee Fans. That being said, the other posters hit it right about the sound quality. I have the radio connected to my AUX jack on both the car radio and my clock radio. I found that the sound quality is better. Indoors the radio works fine. The antenna is on the window sill, inside, next to the air conditioner. One thing to keep in mind. I have been told (someone correct me if in error) that XM uses geosynchronous satellites and that Sirius uses lower altitude orbit satellites that can create difficulty receiving the signal indoors.

Bad idea... they are unreliable. Not only do they go open but the short to frame, sometimes intermitantly. Plus, the chances of finding the right one are slim, since these are multi-unit resistors... few of them match unless you get the same chassis, and thats a big waste for most situations. to answer his question, usually 5 watt replacement resistors are fine for most situations. "Sand Block" types are the most common and reliable. Mark Oppat "Michael A.

If you don't mind running on batteries or building your own power supply, and can tolerate running on 1610kc, look for one of these Wild Planet Radio DJ Studio toys. It's cheap and not a kit so you don't have to build it. They aren't made any more but can sometimes be found on eBay. When they were new they cost $20. Example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190015826381 Syl designed this nice little transmitter (I *think* this is the most recent ske) http://oldradioz.com/schematics/AM_Transmitter_6BM8.pdf These are the only two I've used, I'm satisfied with both and paid next to nothing for either (the parts for the one I built from Syl's design were in my junkbox.) If you don't want to use a 6BM8 it will work with any medium-mu triode (a la 6J5) and power pentode (a la 6V6.)

But if one or more sections are either open or high resistance, or intermittent when the terminals are moved, you might try the following. If you can remove the unit from the radio, squeeze the metal on both sides of the terminals in a vice - HARD. Of but the entire resistor in a large bench vice and squeeze both sides. This has worked for me in all cases where the failure was a high resistance. If the candohm cannot be removed easily (rivets etc) I have also restored them by squeezing with a C-Clamp in place (if there is room). I would NOT recommend this method if you are restoring a radio to sell, as likely the repair is not permanent, and there is a possibility of a short to the frame (I have personally never seen that happen). But I do this on my "keepers" where I want them to remain as original as possible. If you replace one, I would not recommend bridging the terminals, even if OPEN. I'd replace the whole unit with terminal strips and 5-10 watt "sand" resistors.

Tubes could have been switched long before you got the radio - such as when it broke years ago from bad capacitors, someone tested them and didn't put them back right. You could also have a totally dead tube somewhere, although it is rare that one would kill the radio, unless it was the rectifier (no B+) or the oscillator (no signal). I am sure someone in one of the states you mentioned, or at home in ATL, could test them for you.

Going price for random NOS/NIB tubes where many are identifiable from the photos is five to ten cents per tube. Typical "boxes of tubes" auctions where tubes are generally not identifiable are hard to estimate because typically these sorts of auctions get ZERO bids. By either of these standards, the starting bid for the above auction is too high by a factor of ten to a hundred; I would add another "penalty" factor for the conspicuous lack of any identifiable photos of even a single actual item.

I have one myself and I highly recommend it for AM radio listening. You can adjust the input gain, modulation level, and amount of compression to make a signal that's pretty darn close to that of commercial broadcast. In fact the biggest difference is that the AMT-3000 has a wide-open frequency response up to 20kHz, whereas the normal AM channel allocation calls for a 5kHz limit. So it's actually better -- except for the fact that most radio receivers filter out the highs anyway, so it doesn't matter. I personally use mine to listen to OTR on my Atwater Kent when working in the shop. I also use it to tune and test AM radios. -- Gary E.

Except for one thing - the power that goes into radiating the sidebands above 5khz is wasted if it's never heard in the receiver. It's basically the same reason you don't use a hi-fi amp to modulate a ham rig. You want to limit the audio bandwidth (in this case to speech) so it all goes into effective radiated power instead of "splattering" the carrier out excessively, wasting power.

The seller has a shot to correct his items up to a certain point, and if he sells at 3X purchase, he has honored the time-tested pawn and flea marketers' overhead rule, which ain't much of a markup really for $5. At least it's still a better deal than some guy eating 8 inch 30 watt Altec woofers for lunch at almost 40 a pair. Gee, I'm probably giving them as a gift but I'm not paying that much for good stuff.

(Sort by size that is) I get lots of car radios tubes, both from conversions and from boneyard radios that get picked apart. I sort them by boxes: 6 volt 7 pin, 12 volt 7 pin, 9 pin, and bigger ones. I keep "tested" tubes in plastic bags, sorted by type, in a big drawer. When I need a tube, I sift through the drawer. If the tube I need is not there, I check in the appropriate box. It doesn't take long to sort through the tubes in the box, pulling out all of the type I need. I then get out the tester, and check every tube of this type. Anything less than perfect gets thrown out; the first good one goes into the radio, all the rest of the good ones go in a plastic bag and get put in the drawer. If it's a slow day I may pick out a few other types and test/sort them before putting the box away. This gives me a good supply of tested tubes without spending boo-koo hours sorting and testing them. I state all tubes sold as being used, regardless of where I got them. Even when I buy tubes "NOS" from a dealer, they're often used. Doesn't matter as long as they work. Occasionally the boxes fill up, as I get tubes faster than I can ever use them.

There is no jumper in the AMT-3000 that restricts the frequency response, unless there is a mark 2 model that includes such a jumper.

Never having cracked open my working TO 1000, I'm not sure what would be meant by the "string idler," or whether it's as unobtainable as the service guy claimed. Perhaps it's the medium-sized pulley-gizmo shown in the stringing diagram ( http://www.transoceanic.nostalgiaair.org/1000.htm ) which shows two larger and three smaller pulleys. Is there something peculiar about that part that would make it likely to break? In my experience, the cords will break long before other things in such an assembly. The owner lives not far from me. If this requires parts fabrication, I don't have the equipment for that, but with a little better info, perhaps I could send them in the right direction.

I bought a mess of unsorted tubes from an eBay seller. Came with a tube tester and some other stuff. I sorted initially by base type: pre-octal, octal, loktal, 7 pin miniature, and 9 pin miniature, and compactron and other teevee types. Then started breaking down by types within those categories. The 7 pin miniatures are all sorted by type, and stuffed into little muslin bags, which are leftover wellsite cuttings sample bags. I get a lot of those. You can get about 20 tubes in a bag. In some cases, I'd put several closely-related types in one bag. For instance, I think I have a bag with 1T4, 1U5, and 1R5 in it. The bags have labels with the type numbers written on them, and they reside in a desk drawer. If I need a 7 pin mini tube, I can lay hands on it in about 2 minutes or less, if I have it. The larger tubes aren't as thoroughly sorted as yet, other than rectifiers are kept separate, and the Majestic spray-shielded tubes are in their own box. And the teevee types probably never will get sorted. But I'll hang onto them just in case... Gordon Richmond Article: 338786 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "Scott W.

Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2006 22:47:32 -0700 Message-ID: References: I had mine apart a very long time ago....IIRC it consists of two independent cord assemblies (one tied to the tuning cap pulley, the other tied to the sliderule dial and tuning knob) tied together by the circular motion of a bushing in the middle. The dial cord on the dial is driven by the tuning knob, which wraps around the bushing and indirectly drives the tuning cap pulley, which also has a cord which wraps around the same bushing. In this way, the motion of turning the tuning knob gets transmitted to the tuning cap. Note that the bushing is made of bakelite which is rather brittle. I've never seen one break, but if this set was in regular use for nearly 50 years, I imagine it is possible. The original part is truly unobtanium unless you find a junker set to scarf one from (not likely) or someone lists a NOS replacement on eBay (even more unlikely). If I were faced with this dilemma I would seek out a woodworking guy with a lathe, and have him turn a replacement bushing made of some kind of hardwood. A machinist could probably do it out of aluminum stock too, at considerably greater expense. IMO, it might be less hassle (and less costly in the long run) to purchase a working 1000 with a crappy case on eBay for a modest cost, and transfer the guts to the old man's radio. And one other thing: The 'shack is not really equipped to do much more than blow their own noses these days. The notion of shipping a classic set from the Seattle area to Utah for repair is ludicrious. They couldn't find ONE person in an area of three-quarters-of-a-million people who still works on TOs? -Scott Phil Nelson wrote: > I got the following email from a visitor to my website.

It took me all of about 10 minutes of actual listening to be convinced that Satellite IS the future of radio. All the stuff I haven't heard on terrestrial radio for years-Full album sides, long, obscure cuts, and guys playing the tunes that actually care about what they are playing-is all over the place on Satellite. It takes radio back to a place it never should have left, and it is awesome. I have listened to old-fashioned radio (other than shortwave) for maybe an hour since I got it. Reception here in the Northern California woods is a challenge....Sirius requires that the antenna be aimed in the direction of Manitoba (Canada), and you must have at least a 60 degree unobstructed arc in the center of the antenna. In California, this means that you aim the antenna towards the northeastern sky. In most places this isn't a problem, but where I live there is only one spot on my property that meets the requirements (it also means that XM reception is impossible where I live). I actually had to run the line-out audio from the receiver through an unused twisted-pair ethernet cable to get the sound piped into my shack because the antenna coax would have been too long otherwise (maximum 120 feet). Reception in my car is uniformly excellent unless there is something solid above me like an overpass or cluster of tall trees. The sound quality is not quite as good as top-notch FM stations used to be, but it is at least as good as they are now, and there is no background hiss. Highly recommended.

I bought a cosmetically almost perfect 1000D at a garage sale for $10. When I got the receiver home the tuning indicator did not move at all. There are two "strings" on this set, one drives the tuning cap and goes around another wheel which you could call an idler since it is not connected to anything else. The other "string" wraps around three small pulleys to move the dial pointer, each end of this second string takes one turn around the bakelite "driver" which is attached to the tuning knob on the front. Finally, the ends of this second string wrap around the "idler" pulley and both ends are attached to the tension spring in the middle. If you followed all of that and are still with me, I'm absolutely positive the "idler" pulley is replaceable, it fits on a shaft that protrudes from the chassis and is retained by a small clip. I remember lubricating the shaft where the tuning knob fits, it has the splines on the outside to accept the knob, the bakelite "driver" about halfway back and the rear part of this shaft fits under a strong "clip" that holds it to the chassis. It is really crowded in there and I'm not sure how easy it would be to get the shaft separated from the clip without damaging the coils or wiring, however I'm 75% sure that it can be removed. I never removed it so I actually didn't look at it that close. I don't know what the budget id for fixing this radio, but here is a link to REA who has some parts available for a 1000D. Good Luck!

Better quality naturally when using composit audio outs. Don't be too choosey when using in the auto. Road noise usually keep you from appreciating perfect audio. On another note, if anyone of you has plans on getting a receiver and have to use the FM modulator, I highly recommend any receiver that covers outputs to all frequencies on the FM band. There are some that only utilize about a dozen FM frequencies and that's a problem especially when you live in the big city, like me. You at least have a better chance at finding an open frequency to plop the XM receiver on and remain interference free. Thanks, GB Peter Wieck wrote: > What is the signal like?

Mark, I'll pass on that radio. As Paul noted, it's a ways away, $60/gas plus my time. And although it may be a high tube count radio, it is in really crappy shape. There are very few people even in this group that would tackle a full console cabinet restoration when it is beyond just a simple refinishing task. It seems many of the "great deal" radios you have posted over the last few months may indeed have quality designs, high tube counts, or other remarkable features, but they also seem to be going cheap because many are in severely trashed cabinets. And picking it up for resale is a gamble also. There are many nice consoles I've hauled to meets in the past, only to sell for way below what I paid just to clear some space. It's not worth the risk to keep buying stuff like that Airline. There is little or no market around the upper Midwest here for that kind of stuff lately, with so many choice radios that don't need a full restoration going for very reasonable (cheap) prices.

If you are shutting the tank off by the valve and leaving the jets to burn remaining fuel you could "fool" the regulator into "thinking" there is too much pressure on the high side. ( Pulls a vacuum on the low side.) Removing the regulator from the tank and letting it equalize will usually correct this. My grill has control knobs that look they belong on an AK 225 unit.

I do have a Rhino tank and if what you say is correct, maybe when I'm unscrewing and rescrewing it back on, I tighten it enough sometimes that it works, other times not.

It got to the point where one burner would work fine, two sometimes, and three never. As you lit up extra heat the thing would shut down, not totally, but very low flame. I went through the tank, company, experimental thing, Replaced the regulator and got better but not cuired. I finally opened up the regulator and turned the screw so more pressure would come out. Everything is fine now. The tank might be goofy in your case. Borrow someone elses tank for a test. greg Article: 338821 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: "toxcrusadr" Subject: Re: Model 84 Update Date: 3 Aug 2006 08:54:35 -0700 Message-ID: <1154620474.978045.195440@m79g2000cwm.googlegroups.com> References: <0001HW.C0F6F27D000846CDF02845B0@news.comcast.giganews.com> Samantha wrote: > So..

One must start with the burner valves closed. Then turn on the tank valve. WAIT 5-10 SECONDS. Then turn on the burner and light them. To shut down, reverse the procedure. If you have a burner valve open when you open the tank valve, or do not wait long enough between turning on the tank and opening the burner valve, NO GAS. That's the way it works on my grill - HONEST! And if you screw up, it takes some time to recover.

Just look at the junk people buy today and then look at a real nice radio cabinet with intricate, old growth veneers... and many with finishes that have survived 60+ years.... and, these sets can still be used everyday if restored. Why oh why dont they sell for more??? I would much rather have one in a den or office than some modern repro crap, which, there are no console types even available anymore in repro. Maybe we need to get a huge celebrity to show off their home to Barbara Wawa on TV and show a few classic consoles. Maybe that would trick the public into investing in real quality!

Choose one that is designed for the current of the filament string it is to be used with. IIRC, those devices went down to a few 10s of ohms when hot so the drop will be fairly small if you choose to go the fixed resistor route, but the surge will be significant so it would be best to use a wirewound of some 5 times the wattage dissipaed under steady state. For example, say the hot resistance is 20 ohms and the filament string is 300mA; then the nominal drop [hot] will be 6V and the dissipation 1.8W. If you use a fixed resistor and given this example you would use 20 ohms WW at 10W to tolerate the high inrush at cold filament turn on [some 20W assuming 100ohm filaments when cold].

In addition to this newsgroup, I subscribe to a private group related to classic Thunderbirds. In addition to radios I chat with fellow T-Bird owners from around the world. Hold that thought. Four years ago I "repaired" an AM/FM radio for a 65 T-Bird -- worst car radio ever made, but it was an easy audio problem and I got it playing beautifully (considering what it is) for a very reasonable price. Three years later -- two years out of warranty -- he called me up to tell me he's having a problem -- after sitting outside for three years, he's just now getting around to installing it in the car. It now has a problem where reception pops in and out. I told him I normally wouldn't mind checking it, except that it sounds like the elements got to the IF cans over time and corroded the caps in the bases. On these IF's this problem is virtually impossible to fix. In fact, I no longer offer service on AM/FM radios partly because of this very problem -- and other dealers are refusing them as well for the same reason. I offered him a big discount on a conversion, which is the only worthwhile solution to this problem. He got really nasty because (1) I didn't warn him three years ago that this was gonna happen, and (2) I should be offering the conversion to him for free. Well -- yet another year went by, then one day out of the clear blue, he got on the T-Bird message forum and lambasted me to pieces. Of course many happy customers responded, but the real surprise came when several others on the list suddenly sent me their radios for conversion! I had a big boost in business that day! -- Gary E.

From what I understand the block contains only two .05 caps. The main reason why I'm asking about this is I've run into a problem maybe due to an oversight, or error. I restuffed this block with 2 .05's (.047's) and the results have lessoned the sound from bright and clear, to basey and not as loud.

Hold that thought. Holding, as you recount the crappy '65 Bendix again...what a dog. The '66 optional AM/FM I had in my Landau was scarcely much better, but at least didn't have the rotten "caps-in-the-IF-base" problem of the previous year. Still, when completely functional, it was a real distortion maker, with indifferent sensitivity on AM and rotten adjacent channel rejection on FM. No amount of "tweaking" was able to make it any better, either...but it was original! On topic, my dad-in-law just bought a '55 T-Bird, #3 original shape, original radio. He wants me to refurbish and align the radio for him. Any caveats with those besides the normal new caps, cleaning and general service norms? I'm thinking of going solid state DC-DC supply on this, as well...not the crummy plug-in vibrator replacement. Off topic, it is never my intent to boost Cholly Noodles' sales a whit, but it is my intention to crush his 66fourdoor account on eBay forever, and judging from the high auction failure rate of late, I'm succeeding. TFB for the other idiots who chimed in.

My understanding (RVers deal with propane a lot) is that the tank valve has an excess-flow-rate shut-off valve built into it. If, for example, everything was running normally, and you suddenly cut the hose with an ax, a ton of propane would flow - but the excess flow valve senses the very high flow rate and shuts it down. I have been told that if you open the tank valve quickly, the spurt of gas that charges the regulator and the hose, even if the grill is off, can fool the excess-flow valve. The only solution is to close the tank valve and wait until the flow stops (almost immediately) and all the pressures equalize (can be much slower). Radio content - yes, it is just like the inrush current into a filter capacitor when you snap on the power. If the inrush is big enough, a fast-blow fuse can be "fooled" into blowing. Note that this excess flow rate preventer is in the tank valve, not the regulator.

I can't be 100% sure until I try it a few times but I think that was it. Apparently failing to bottom out the fitting does shut off the gas. I was not attempting to override anything, it's just that when I bought the grill the old tanks were still being used and so the grill instructions were no help. And I probably didn't read the fine print on the Rhino tank before it blew away. If I had, chances are it would not have explained anything.

Often they were sold by a particular department store chain or furniture company. I'll bet that if you look at the motor it probably has a plate on it that says "Saal" (a nice, quiet running motor by the way). Usually, the reproducer used a mica diaphragm and the reproducer would swivel so that it could play laterally recorded records such as Victor and Columbia or vertically recorded records such as Pathe, which used a sapphire ball stylus (is that what your bulbus needle is?) or a more pointed one to play Edison's thick Diamond Discs (not recommened by Edison). Steel needles should be used for only one record and then thrown away. Another source of information is Phono-L a mailing list for phonograph collectors.

Ain't no way they're going to pull his ticket with a high feedback rating like that. The worst that is likely to happen is an offending listing gets pulled. About two years ago, there was a HUGE debate in this group as to whether FS and FA listings were appropriate here. Those that supported the practice ultimately prevailed because those that opposed it grew weary of trying to convince two or three very stubborn pro-FA individuals as to why it should not be encouraged. We are seeing the fruits of that now....Mysterious people who post FA and FS listings (often across several groups, which brings with it its own set of problems) and contribute absolutely nothing else to the group. I have noticed that quite a few regulars here have left or are merely lurking, possibly in part due the increased noise to signal ratio in the group.

I have been traveling a lot and have not had time to spend much time with the radio or pull the chassis out again. I put in a .5a fuse and the radio powered up normally. Same as before, no sound. Fuse did not blow. When I touched the voltmeter to Pin 5 of the EL95 tubes there was an audible "click" from the speaker. All tubes match the diagram on the back of the radio. All tubes light up when the radio is powered up. A brief "touch test" didn't show anything unusually hot to the touch. Yes, I do have a schematic. The voltages listed for the Pin contacts are high/low readings, no? If so, all of the readings are off. EL95 tubes. Pin 5 = 360v (same for both tubes), per schema = 271/266v Pin 6 = 0v (same for both tubes), per schema = 235/213v Pin 2 = 2v (same for both tubes), per schema = 8.6/7.9 I also checked EBF 89 and ECH81. The voltages at the Pins were either low, or 0v, respectively. I am reading as much as time permits so I can interpret your suggestions. The common denominator of all of the suggestions is the output transformer, rectifer, and 1.3k resistor. I will check all three and post a reply. I assume that I will need build a replacement for the rectifier out of diodes.

The plate voltage is very high because the radio is drawing virtually no current. The fact that you have voltage at the EL95 plates also indicates that the transformer is likely ok.

It computes if you consider he posted personal information of other Ebay users who he got into flame wars with, posting their phone numbers, addresses, maps to their homes. Also posting auction spam under other Ebay users names, calling their employers, calling their wifes employer, posting their wifes work phone number and urging others to call and harrass her.

He's deleted hundreds of posts because he went too far and got his ass in a sling, he was running scared and had to do some damage control. He wasn't able to delete all his posts though because he was unable to access those accounts Google shut down. He will also "buy"positive feedback, that is when someone complains about a shoddy thing he sold them, he refunds their money and lets them keep the goods. Don't believe me? Read Charlies posts through a newsreader that has good retention of posts and then compare that to Googles archives and you'll see many of his post are missing on Google because he deleted them. Too bad he can't delete them on the other newsreaders. He's posted about 10 posts this morning in the 8 track group and then went right back in and deleted them, they are gone from Google but exist on other newsreaders. Why would someone with so much credibility be doing that? See for yourself. He's duping you. > "William R.

Message-ID: Date: Sat, 05 Aug 2006 18:58:18 GMT The August 2006 Sarasota Meet is now in the history books. It was at last August's meet that I was so disappointed I tried to do something about it. We only had about a dozen people there, if that. So for the December meet we went hog wild on getting the word out, and December was the biggest meet we've had in years. Then came April, which is typically smaller, and was moved to the last Saturday which also hurt attendance, but was also boosted with the truckload of stuff we brought in. April was bigger than December. So here comes August -- deadsville, right? Bzzztt!! WRONG! It was hopping, probably at least as good as last December (although we were a little short with dealers). Everybody there is agreeing that this event is steadily growing, and not just a passing fluke. It is looking positive all the way. The winner of the Best of Show Trophy: I didn't get the name, but it was a 1923 A. C. Dayton radio. Second place went to Bernie, who brought a Radiola Crystal set for display. My Zenith H-500 TO, at third place, didn't win a trophy -- which means maybe we should have a third place from now on. :-) My goal is to get this meet on the map. Whether it's the same as Lansing, Kutztown, or others is yet to be determined, but I want this to be a respectable event -- one that people know is coming, and look forward to. We're getting there.

I have listed what I might like, now if any of you are interested and can pony express to a group members' location and divvy, discard, sell or whatever you want to do, let me know and I will ante up the bid to start. This is the best opportunity I've had in a long time searching to find some equipment I could possibly afford, so I hope it can work. Thank you, the auction ends August 12.

Jim Barnard I have the 880 but the knobs are shot and with a ROPE for the handle it must be the BoDean model. I could send some shots of the inside that is very nice and works too?

It doesn't matter with these what order you turn it on or off - I always turn the grill off by the tank valve so as to burn out the gas in the pipes (it goes "pop" as it goes out.)

They work fine, bias is normal (no grid emission). Glow looks normal inside and sound is absolutely great. The power transformer is overrated for the radio. It looks like it belongs in a '50s TV. I will do something more permanent before buttoning it up though. I think what is happening is the filament gets hotter than normal and the resistance rises limiting the overcurrent and reaching a point of equilibrium.

For the price, somebody could pick it up and have one heck of yardsale with the leftovers??? POINT still that everyone I've spoken to or emailed tells me the SG165 is what I want and I ought to try. I have the opening bid and I've been bulldozing through my projects at a quick pace this week, I should get enough finished to sell before fall, my OWN yardsale? Somebody besides Terry chime in other than it's nice or the guy is crazy please. I'm not 200.00 capable of shipping, my food refills and a Zenith and some speaker parts are first. Buying one of Bill Turner's books (Ed Romney's might be best) couldn't hurt, and I have 340.00 between my part of the rent, food, medicine and Middle America. I could bring in 100.00 with some hard work with what I have that works.

Seller still had > some left .. Not surprised. He had to have had almost 50, all at $150-$200 each Friday morning. Judging by the condition, $50 was still too much for most of them. :-) Plenty of others there too. Mostly valueless beaters and nice high-end sets with prices to match. Not much in the nice clean midpriced restorable segment, either table sets or consoles.....result was that there was nothing that could tempt me to take my wallet out of my pocket, unfortunately. (Of course, with two nice refinished consoles coming my way next week for $175 total, and watching a lot of poor eBay prices lately, my sense of value is ratcheted steeply downward right now.) Jim M. sold a nice SC 240M while I was there. I picked a handful of needed used glass octals (among them a 6K5G and a rather uncommon ST-12 25L6G) out of somebody's $1 box, a couple of other supplies and a control Mark Oppat built for me (nice to see you there Mark; check your e-mail), and was gone by 11:00 a.m. on Friday. The wife saw a big old square wooden 12-disk jukebox in bad shape and missing the audio amp for $260 or so and wanted me to get it so I could build a bar around it. I nixed that idea, which led to a discussion on the way home...... :-/ Nothing to stop me from going next year, especially if I can sell off some pieces I own now in the interim.

If you run a 5v6 off 6v it will run a bit hotter and might not last as long, but will work quite well. If you run a tube at lower voltage than designed it will also run well, if you reduce the ratings. I once built a phono - oscillator using a 14Q7. I actually ran the tube off a small power transformer with a 6.3v heater winding, so the tube ran and HALF it's normal heater voltage. It worked just fine! Early tube computers used 6.3v tubes with 5v on the heaters with the idea of getting longer life out of the tubes by de-rating them.

But I don't have 6X5Gs, the sets have 6X5GTs which I don't care to use for functional or aesthetic reasons. I want to stick 6X5Gs in the sockets while leaving only the heater connected and diodes mounted elsewhere to do the rectification. This whole request is purely for top-of-the-chassis looks.

If I can get them for the opening bid I'll happily take them but for some reason the dumb things usually sell for insanely high prices.

Initial numbers say we had more sellers than last year. The weather was perfect. Most sellers played by the rules and did not sell on Thursday. Only about 5-6 felt they can do as they please. Reception went well, especially after the keg of beer was opened. Hotel is undergoing renovations so the hotel staff was a little out of it but they promise to improve. Friday morning pushed the start time. A few were open at 6:00 am and most were going by 6:30. At least did not see any flashlights. A few high end sets around and less than 6 catalins. Many parts sets and sets too big to ship easily. But that is true of most meets. Only hiccup in the presentations is the speaker doing the transoceanic cancelled at last minute. Friday banquet was a great laugh. Not because of the comedy, entertainment or awards, but because of the dinner. When the wait staff brought out hamburger buns as bread for the table, the President was going to lose it. All was taken in fun and the hotel knows they lost control (chef didn't show) but next year will be better. Contest was well entered and some great items on display. Auction was very light and many items were buy backs. Pictures of the show will be on the club's web site at www.antique-radios.org very soon. For me personally, sold all of my 30,000 tubes, saw a lot of friends, and had a great time. I purchased some AK advertising, a Zenith 9S30 and a great porcelain Zenith pre-war sign. Just lost out on a Zenith 805. Next year is already in the planning stages and promises to be bigger and better.

What's wrong with Sarasota? The town is growing and getting a little congested, but it's still a pretty nice place. I still believe Sarasota is a prime location to host such a show.

When I was in school, I built (as did every other student) an AM radio transmitter. This was an interesting breadboard design which consisted of a few PCB's that mounted on a metal base. The PCB's were large for what they were, and made from a very durable material. They had to be, because students actually built these each semester, then afterward the instructors removed all the components. cleaned the PCB's, and readied them for the next go-round. As I recall this metal transmitter base was a little larger than a notebook. Of course as we built these, section by section, we learned what each section, and each component, did. When finished we did a little playing with some of them, feeding audio into them and listening on nearby radios. I'll never forget the final test -- drawing the complete schematic from memory! I got 100%, and I still have that test page in my file. I could build one, except I've built an AMT-3000 instead. By the way, this was TESST School in Hyatsville, Maryland. -- Gary E.

Message-ID: Date: Sun, 06 Aug 2006 16:12:40 GMT For the most part, common sense rules here. There are two basic noise sources on an older tube radio -- internal and external. Internally there is a vibrator power supply, and these vibrators are VERY noisy. For this reason you'll find that just about all of these radios have the vibrator, power transformer, and rectifier partitioned off from the rest of the radio in some manner. On some radios there is indeed a metal partition inside; on others the radio is mostly enclosed but the power supply is mounted openly in the back. On yet others the power supply is mounted on a separate chassis entirely. Only the oldest radios, such as a 37 Pontiac I recently rebuilt, might you see the power supply inside the same box -- and on this radio the rectifier and all the RF tubes had very tight shields on them (which is why I needed the "G" series, as the GT tubes would not fit). The other source is external, meaning just that. The cause is something external to the radio. It might be spark plug wires, generator noise, dashboard noise (from a flasher-type regulator), or resistance in the car's wiring. Bear in mind that such noises usually are picked up through the antenna, and are no fault of the radio. For these, you need to ensure all the filter condensers (and chokes) are in place and in good order. It is possible to pick up noise even if the car's wiring and filters are perfect. Such filters lessen, but don't eliminate, noise. If the radio is tuned to a very weak station, you may hear some noise, even on a modern car. It is usually not objectionable, but if it is, you might have a radio with poor reception due to misalignment. If the radio is not very sensitive, and you have to turn up the volume to get the station you want, alignment (and AVC operation) could be the culprit. You should know how to take it from there. -- Gary E.

Message-ID: Date: Sun, 06 Aug 2006 20:02:57 GMT The one person who regularly posts on this list, and who faithfully attends the meet, is Brian McAllister. Chip Taylor also attends, and is on this list, although he does a lot more reading than posting. John Goller has attended in the past, although not lately. Norm Smith was there Saturday -- I'm sure many of you know him. In fact he used to run the event years ago when it was held in Bradenton. I don't have the written registration -- someone else has it. However I would estimate there were around 7-8 dealers and around 60-70 people in attendance. This is obviously nothing compared to some of the other "big dogs", but I'm impressed simply because the August show in the past has only brought in about a dozen regulars. I'm also encouraged at the fact that most of our "regulars" seen at the December or April shows were not there -- they are still skeptical I suppose. Yes, many of these were new people who had found out from flyers or a listing in the local newspaper. I consider this encouraging because when they return in December, they will make it even larger. The only thing I consider disappointing is the fact that there were not many dealers, and that the offerings were not quite suited to those in attendance. Basically there were a number of clean, restored radios going for $50, $100, $200, $300, $400, etc., and the crowd off the street wasn't the type who would buy these. There were a few parts and low-budget items offered, but not much. Indeed there were sales, but not like there would have been for the same items in December. When December rolls around you can expect to see a larger number of restored sets, as well as project radios, junkers for parts, test equipment, new/used components, and all sorts of other goodies. How many dealers/attendees will we have in December? I don't know, but I expect it to be bigger than last year, making it the biggest one yet. I'm comparing this to a local car show. Several years ago Maurice Devoreaux decided to invite some automobile-loving friends over for a get-together. There were 7 classic cars that came and parked in his front yard. Obviously not much of a car show by numbers, but they had a great time and decided to do it again next year. Well, each year it has grown, and of course moved to other locations where the cars will fit. Lately the Devoreaux-Kaiser show has been held every January at the Sarasota Square Mall, and though it has been strictly limited to 1,000 cars, latecomers merely park in the other areas. This year we don't know where it will be held, but we expect about 1,200 cars. Our swap meet has a lot of growth potential. I don't know how far it will go before leveling off. -- Gary E.

If the 'fingers' on the lips where the panels join are not making really good contact or if any of the case closing screws [actually ANY screws] are loose or missing, it can have a huge effect on the noise. Basically all the noise supression components in the radio must be 'as designed' or the chance of noise problems is greatly increased. Neil S. Ken wrote: > Thanks, Gary, I will pass it on.

Anyone know where I can get this? The radio is essentially inoperative. The tubes glow, but no audio. At the least, the audio section is bad because there is no low-level hum or hiss as I would expect. (The speaker and output transformer are fine, so it must be something wrong with the electronics.) In any case, I can't proceed beyond this point with the schematic.

Article: 339060 of rec.antiques.radio+phono Date: Sun, 06 Aug 2006 22:37:54 -0400 From: Tom Adkins Subject: Radio "rich" areas of the country? Message-ID: I was reading another thread when Gary Tayman said:"Although this area, unlike Pennsylvania or Ohio, is not full of really old houses with these gems in their attics...." I certainly don't take exception to Gary and don't mean to quote him out of context. His comment made me think about many other times that I've heard the same sentiment. I'm in the Cleveland area and would agree that antique radios and phonographs that are of interest here on RAR+P are pretty easy to find in northern Ohio compared to other areas of the country. I can remember some years ago when they seemed to be falling out of the sky, so to speak. I've always thought, though, that the larger east coast cities and their outlying areas would be better "radio finding" areas than my portion of the country, meaning PA, OH, IN, MI, etc. I can understand why there are fewer radios of our interest located west of the Mississippi River and the seeming dearth of radios further West, but why would the (roughly) Great Lakes region be rife with attic treasures as opposed to the East Coast? I'm certainly not complaining, just wondering (as I prop the door open with, yet another, one of those pesky AK 10-c Breadboards ;) ) Any thoughts?

East Coast .. space to store stuff is at a much larger premium in more crowded areas of the east ... so when it croaked.. they ditched the stuff rather than storing it... another thought is the general type of people in the midwest.. more of the ... well someday I might just need that gizmo ... so they tend to be more like packrats.... yup takes one to know one!...

Great job!! You need a few more "stationary radios" under your belt so that you can enjoy the addiction as much as everyone else. ;) It seems as though Mr. Auto Radio has dabbled into the unknown recently with an early AK AC set. Maybe he wants another... We'll hook you, sooner or later Gary......You'll laugh at all of those lowly car radios........You'll sell your soul for a Nocturn... Seriously, keep promoting the Sarasota meet. You're helping it grow. Keep up the good work! (as I inspect this rusty 63 Ford radio).

I know there are consoles out with different code numbers (122, 125). Question, is the power transformer universal for all model 16 chassis? There's just something that looks different in the pictured chassis.
