Fire station radio - always painted RED! - There was always that guy on the Fire Department who know radios; he was the guy who serviced the early 2-way radios in the fire engines and the base station in the fire station, this, of course in big city stations. The plug on the back pipped the music from the radio to the sleeping quarters, the dining facilities and down stairs to the station where the other fire men serviced the equipement to keep it in top condition for fighting fires. This radio was surely a member of the LAFD at one time and served the men who kept the fires at bay in your major city area.

Stewart-Warner made sets for many department stores. They were sold as the "house" brand. Many Montgomery Wards sets were built by Stewart Warner or Wells Garner. They could even be the same model with the similar parts. SW stuff is quite decent quality in the low priced set field. It is not surprising it works as is. It is now a happy Saturday after my shango066 fix. Thanks!

Shango, just a suggestion to tgo out and rack down the location of the "Test Lady" and take a video of it..her. The antenna is probably located on or near the interstate. The transmitter would be a small metal box connected to a large fiberglass antenna, it would look like the A99 CB antenna. Those TIS/Caltrans information stations only run about 10 watts, so it would have to be fairly close to you. Not sure where that Spanish station would be. If I knew the exact frequency, I could probably track it down by looking at a station list for that particular frequency...

I find it interesting that it's less of a collectable to you because it's modified; to me that makes it more interesting since the fact that it was worked on so heavily is the only reason it still exists today. The cabinet would be easy to refinish for someone with time. I have a large Zenith tombstone which had every capacitor replaced, went through at least 2 power transformers, a replacement speaker, and both the volume and tone control were replaced. I replaced the power transformer again, recapped it, and got it working... I felt like since someone cared enough to put the time and parts into it way back when, it was worthy of it now too!

Oh yeah now we are talking! 20s-30's transformer sets are my favourite era of tube radios and what I collect... There is so much variation in these sets as radios were still closer to being new technology than established. Tubes and circuit designs also went through a lot between 1925 - 1940, later sets all tended to follow the same schematic and use more or less the same tubes.. which were just smaller versions of late 30s or 1940s tubes... the 30s especially though had some really unusual tubes and designs you might come across in a radio as manufacturers were testing out all the new tubes and tech to see what could sell the most radios.

Many times they would buy a license to RCA for instance and copy the schematic of the license. AA5 radios were a very common one to do. There were 5 or 6 designs in the late 1930's and a quite a few more in the 1940s that were done this way by many manufactures. A badge or label was mounted on the rear of the chassis which listed the many licensed patents to the original patent holder whether it was RCA or some others.

@ElectroRestore Жыл бұрын

As always, Great Diagnosis Shango066! I think they moved the transformer to allow the new power resistor to breath as you mentioned. However, I also think the main reason they moved it was to reduce hum because of the loss of the speaker field coil. They turned the transformer on its side so the flux lines would be parallel to the chassis to cut down cross talk interference between it and the rest of the power supply section for the same reason. That was most likely necessary to made use of same place to add the additional electrolytics in the same low interference section of the chassis.

As Shango pointed out, the 'fix' was correct, but a mess. I can imagine someone in a radio repair shop working on this and thinking 'I'm already into this for the parts... I better hurry!!' I worked on a friend's 1946 Philco console (they only had one, their first one after the war). His grandparents had it. It was missing the crucial IF Transformer that allowed FM reception. Someone had 'fixed it', but it might have been mid '60s, so no such IF Can was available. They replaced it with an AM only IF Transformer. So, Shortwave & AM worked, but no FM. I was disappointed, but the owner understood.

Back in the late 60’s and into the 70’s you’d see a radios and furniture from this era painted,blue,brick red,yellow and other such colors. I was watching some tv show from the late 60’s not that long ago that showed a bunch of hippies living in an old Victorian house and they had an old cathedral radio painted blue. Guess it they thought it looked “hip”. I can’t believe how many electrical modifications were made to this radio over the years. I understand your feelings about that as I would want it to be original too

@Pentium100MHz Жыл бұрын

I think the modifications are OK and part of the history of the radio. If the original speaker failed and it was too expensive to get a new one or they were no longer made at the time, I would have done the conversion too. When I repair my devices, I do not try to make it look original - if I replace a capacitor, I do not try to put the new one into the shell of the old one etc. Similar with modifications - I have a vacuum tube receiver, where originally all four output tubes (stereo push-pull) share a common cathode resistor and capacitor. I modded it and put separate resistors and caps for each tube - the reason is that with the original configuration al tubes had to be closely matched - if one got weak, the other three would be overloaded and would fail faster. With the new configuration, the tubes do not need to be matched as closely and I was planning to use the receiver a lot. Another modification was to put in a switch that disconnects B+ from the eye tube and drops the heater voltage to it to 3V or so. The idea is to tune to a station, then disconnect the eye tube to save wear on it - I usually listen to the same station all the time.

It was then left to rot in a yard and some guy bought it for $400 and then sold it to Jay for a million dollars. Thankfully Jay has the money and talented craftsmen and mechanics to restore it to its former glory.

After WWII and the reassignment of TV Channel, 1 to public safety VHF FM and cars with Two-Way radios became the norm .

So I watched the whole video, thought it was interesting including the DX at the end. I like the AM radio repair videos in general. The thing about the modifications is that it is easy to judge these hacks as substandard, but we live in the future with unlimited resources like mouser and internet. How long did catalog mail order parts take back then? What if you didn’t have the schematic? So if these "hacks" saved the radio from the trashbin, they were a success. Without them and the skilled tech who was likely working with limited time and resources, the radio would be buried in some landfill.

From the tube lineup, seems like it has an autodyne converter and a plate detector, no AGC. I would probably try to mod it back to original, with some changes. Get a filter choke to replace that resistor and look for a better speaker. Move the power transformer back to where it belongs. Maybe replace the 6J7 detector tube with a 6SQ7 or 6Q7 so it has a diode detector instead of a grid leak and then add AGC and a REAL volume control. The autodyne converter is probably inferior to a real pentagrid circuit, but if you tried to change that, then the alignment of the front end would be screwed up without coil mods, too much effort. Yeah it wouldn't be original, but it would still look close and work much better. Finally, maybe the red paint could be stripped off and there might be something underneath that could be refinished, or stained. If I was local to you, I would be interested in adopting it, but add the shipping costs and it's not worth it to me anymore.

Regarding the gray line test at the end of the video, how many watts is the "This is a Test" transmission, and how far is the transmitter from your location? I would assume they do not cut the power at sunset, if it is only 100 watts or less.
