below are some current projects.



this is a Rogers Batteryless radio from 1933 or 34. It feaures a beautiful cabinet design.

The restoration of the electronics of this one have been truly challenging. One of the IF transformers will need to be replaced. The IF in this set is tuned to 175KC. The output is centre tapped. I have a schematic for this radio but it is very hard to read. I have replaced all the wires , and the capacitors have been restuffed. the output section is working.

I will continue the troubleshooting notes for this Rogers R-732 radio on a separate page. by compiling some data I may be able piece this puzzle together yet. the ongoing project continues here:

Troubleshooting the Rogers R-771

================

Here's a Canadian General Electric H-86 I recently picked up. The Top had some slight delamination and a large patch which had lost all the varnish due to something wet being put on top of the radio. The origional grillcloth is in good shape and the chassis is stock, with a tuning eye behind the dial scale.


can you imagine plugging in your television to get the sound? This set was sold just before TV was popular, although the idea had been around for some time. Television records were an idea a bit ahead of their time, they never became popular.

It had a position for radio , phono , or TV.

The 12" speaker looks fine.

Here it is after refinishing the cabinet. The radio plays really nice it is one of my favorite radios to listen to.
