Re: CG left channel out
As soon as I get twiddling with bakelite radio cabinets out of my system, I'd like to dig into my CG again. It will be interesting to me to see what Steve does to Hydro's CG and how it turns out. Please keep us informed, Hydro....

Re: What is this Model Maggie ?
I found this information in the 1959 Magnavox brochure. I think this is in Downloads, on this forum, but this came from my computer hard drive. Looks really close to the following: Model 1-SA298F AM-FM radio and phonograph, "Magnasonic Special" with two 12" speakers and two four inch,...

Re: $60 Capehart 12CT09-3 w/Glaser-Steers changer - Flint, MI
Was Capehart still the original company when this stereo was built, or were they owned by somebody else?
Would it have a full-stereo tuner, or a stereo-compatible one that required a Multiplex adapter?

Sorry about not having pictures. I have the computer guru on the way, but it's Sunday and he only works during the week. I'll go out to the shop and check that stuff for you. Stand by.

Re: Airline 14WG-625A oscillator dead/dying/intermittent
Repainting the cabinet on this set will be my next project. I haven't decided on color(s) yet. Lavendar and black? Burgundy and Vintage Blush? Sea green and black? The feet are hard rubber, riveted on. I am in the process of digging out the rivets. I will replace these with stick-on felt feet. This ...

Re: Truetone D 2237B radio cabinet
I used a razor blade to scrape all the paint off the top of the cabinet. I really shouldn't be around lacquer thinner when I don't have good cross ventilation, so the old scrape and alcohol treatment was successfully employed. Next step is to wash the cabinet in dishwashing soap, then wet sand with ...

I'm not normally impressed with the two-piece instruments, but I like the looks of that one.

Thank you so much, Bill. I'll get that to Tres in the next couple of weeks to see if he can make us some new ones.

Re: Airline-Ambassador Resistor Question
Also check R7, the cathode bias resistor. It needs to be right on value, 150 ohms. If it has drifted high, that may cause the output tube to conduct more heavily, which can put the audio output transformer in jeopardy. This may not be a huge deal on a small record player amplifier, but it is good ge...

Re: Airline-Ambassador Resistor Question
I think you meant to type 12AV6. The 12AV6 was a new tube in 1953, IIRC. The 12AT6 appeared in 1946-'47. I read an article one time explaining why the AV6 was advantageous to the AT6. Higher gain, lower noise and something else that I forgot were the main differences, since they did the same job. I ...

Re: More broken bakelite radio cabinets
I would, if it's not too much trouble. Maybe Tres could make a suitable duplicate. I scraped that decal off this cabinet because it was in such bad shape. The "D.D.Cole" sticker on the back is usually found in good shape. I don't know why the bottoms of my cabinets are so skinned up....

Re: Airline 14WG-625A oscillator dead/dying/intermittent
If somebody posted on a forum that a wonky volume control could kill an oscillator, I would have been skeptical, to say the least. I am skeptical no longer. I replaced the volume control with one I dug out of a parts chassis. I'm not even sure it will work with the cabinet. The shaft is a tad shorte...

Re: More broken bakelite radio cabinets
The "Leather Brown" I used on the broken bakelite RCA cabinet is almost the perfect color. It is like milk chocolate would be to the original unsweetened chocolate brown of the original bakelite if that makes any sense. The "Vintage Blush" I selected for the front panel is a tad ...

Re: FS.....Radio Shack 8" speakers NIB
I sent you a couple of PM's, Chris. Let me know what you need in the way of the speakers. I have two boxed up, but I can get you more if you'd like. I have a couple of inquiries into them, so first come, first served.
