  • What kind of antenna did you use to pull in the shortwave stations?

  • @vibra64

    Four or five alligator clips.

  • Adding the resister to the power supply would not have anything to do with the fact that AC used to be rated at 110 v but now is rated at 115 to 120, would it? I realize that the cooler operation is a plus but I was wondering if higher modern line voltage entered into your thinking...

  • Yes, a lot of radios in the 30s ran on 110 to 115 VAC so a line dropping resistor is a good idea.

  • Thanks! I have a couple of 30s radios that I hope to tackle "someday" and will use the resistor in the line. This is a great tip.

  • THANKS!

  • It would be in the later part of the 1930s 1936-9. A lot of radios at that time ran on 110-115 VAC so a dropping resistor is a good idea. As you know paper capacitors are always a problem but the distortion could be a bad audio tube/s. Thanks!

  • Thanks Cindy!

  • Thanks, yes it is. To bad it's a customers set lol.

  • Beautiful set...!
