I have one WD-11 but the tube you see in this video is a rebase. A WD-11 matching spec tube put on a WD-11 base. When rebase was available I think they cost $60 each. All tubes have increased in price. Thanks.

It is fun using them and just think of what might have been heard through them originally. Thanks Ed.

Look at the still picture just before operational demo, there is one modern cap that bridges one original cap, yours may not need it. I used a 20 foot wire and no earth ground. It would be best to follow the antenna instructions that are on the led of the receiver. Good luck and thanks.

I picked up one of these radios on ebay but I have not had a chance to hook it up. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this unique little radio with us. I am anxious to listen to mine. You might comment as to what kind of antenna you are using.

Hi, All AmercianFiveRadio:
Cool. I hooked up mine with antenna that is wrapped around electric wire in my room. It worked very well. ---Dan

Very interesting. The band that is used on this receiver, is it shortwave or ham? Also I saw four terminals on the left with colored alligator clips. That must have been for power and headphones. Can a speaker be connected to this so that the programming is heard by everyone seeing the radio, or is it strictly made for the buldwin headphones? That would be interesting to try different speaker types if it is possible.

Hey Gary,
All the terminals are labeled on the paper in the lid for the radio. There are two antenna connections, one for 350 meters and below, and one for 300 to 500 meters, this is also on the paper. 300 meters is 1000khz and 500 meters is 600khz, so the radio covers the AM broadcast band. A horn speaker could be used but it would be very weak. A horn speaker is really just an earphone with a horn on it. But earphone or horn speaker it needs to be high impedance about 2000/3000 ohms.
