Hello,

How did you power up this item.

I found one of these at a garage sale.

[AllAmericanFiveRadio]

I used batteries and alligator clips.

[qseru82]

nice;)

[AllAmericanFiveRadio]

Thanks. I have not seen another one anywhere.

The thermistor usually controls the voltage of the base of the

output transistors if ambient temp goes up the voltage goes

down preventing sound distortion , not all radios had this

type of circuit (excellent radio)

I filled in the gap with those little metal spacers from Radio Shack. Worked great. Thanks!!

great small little gem you have ,I love and collect almost any radio I can get for little money, seems like one 3volt photo battery may fit in there i think is cr 123 or some like that, thank you for sharing. Ernest.

YES!!!!

I searched for the largest batteries of the right voltage that would fit in the radio. Then I made a metal spacer to fill in the gap. It was pretty cool having a small radio playing, but with substantial sound.
