I'm looking for any info on this one, I've found next to nothing online. It has no manufacturer name anywhere, and no back.
It's a 3 valver with mazda octal military valves, 2x VR65 rf pentodes (aka
10E/11446 ARP36 CV118 CV1065 SP61) & a VT501 beam tetrode output (aka C V1501 E1192 10E/389).Pics:
The PSU is very basic, with one mains wire straight to chassis, & the other going through a metal rectifier to a reservoir cap. The knob grub screws a re more or less flush and not insulated. The output transformer is rather s mall. The tuning knob has no gearing. In all I don't think this was a good manufacturer, though it's stylish.
As far as I can tell from a quick look over the chassis it's TRF with eithe r no reaction or maybe a little nonadjustable reaction.
One of my main questions concerns the metal rectifier. 2 items in series wi th 9 large discs on each, yet this has to handle mains voltage. Is that rea lly enough for 240v ac? Or must this be a 100v set, which would be uncommon here. AIUI there were at the time areas still on 100 or 110v.
thanks NT
