About a week ago I made mention of having too many irons in the fire. Recently having returned to an old hobby from some 20 or so years ago, I decided to get this 85 year old radio playing again and am in the process of doing just that. After a couple days reading the schematic and testing the components I only found two resistors and one capacitor that was open. All three RF transformers were good as wee the AF transformers.
I bought a speaker for it that's suppose to be good but I need a battery eliminator since the weird battery voltages required to operate the radio are not available anymore. Once that gets here and I've replaced the bad components this baby should return to its previous glory.
Not that anyone's interested in this sort of thing but thought I'd share some pics. It's not exactly your iphone size but is indeed your Grandfather's radio! It's an Atwater Kent Model 30 and I have a Model 46 to work on after this one!
This is the speaker
This is my next project(Model 46 with transformer instead of battery power)
...and it's speaker
