Re: Sears Silvertone table radio, model 5021

Thanks guys, but a thought, if what you are saying about voltages and such, shouldn't the tubes red plate? So far no lightning/crash noise. I am also wondering if my noise is drowning out my radio reception and that is why I can no long hear the radio. No matter what, this is getting way above my pa...

Thanks, Greg, and you are probably right, I just don't want to except that. I guess I am just being a stubborn old fart. :roll: :(

Re: Sears Silvertone table radio, model 5021

Silvertone radio update: It still is not working correctly, and now, which might finally make it easier to find, the noise is so bad that I can no longer hear any stations. Flexing the PC board will/does make the noise change so now I am leaning back towards the PC/solder joints being the problem. F...

Re: Magnavox Windsor W/TV - $900 - Lawrenceburg, In.

That is an incredible find and the price is not bad either. I am with you, Danny, I believe it does have the horn which makes it worth that kind of money. How far is that from you? I hope someone picks it up, I would hate to see it end up in the landfill.

Re: 1963-ish 1ST288G Restoration

It looks naked without any of the components attached. I need to order a socket for the rectifier tube on my Maggie Symphony. If you push the tube all the way down into the socket it won't work. Pull up on it just a bit and everything plays fine. Have fun and thank you for sharing your progress. Bill

Re: 1963-ish 1ST288G Restoration

We like to refer to "there is always room for one more", that includes part too. Most of us got that disease long ago. :roll: You may get the bug and decide to add another Maggie, or some other brand, so the one you have does not get lonely. ;) ;) :)

Re: 1963-ish 1ST288G Restoration

I was looking over Eric's post this morning and noticed the four holes meant for pots/controls. Curious, what other models was this amp chassis used in. Or, were the pots/controls installed in the amp when a tuner was not included with Eric's model and the whole amp chassis was mounted in the contro...

Re: 25 forgotten radio stations....

I actually watched this video awhile back, found it very interesting. When the video concludes with "WLW", the 500,000 watt station in Cincinnati, it fails to mention who owned the station. Powel Crosley Jr., President of Crosley Radio Corporation, was the owner of said station and was als...

Eric, I loved your "heated argument among the designers." I can just see and hear exactly what you wrote. ;) :) Chris, I am the same. I have purchased a few things, mostly on the cheap and some things have been given to me. The most expensive was the Magnavox Berkshire, it was TOTL in 1956...

Re: Sears Silvertone table radio, model 5021

Thank you for the suggestion, I guess anything is possible. When the "noise" kicks in the radio is still playing behind the "noise". I can turn the tuning knob and change stations, nothing changes as far as the tuner part of the radio is concerned. I have not tried AM, poor recep...
