I can't believe that radio left the factory with no on/off switch, perhaps whoever changed those 3 capacitors had to change the volume pot. For a seventy-year-old radio it's in pristine condition.
I see this a lot from past owners who tinkered with their sets Ken. Yes, it should have an on/off switch being from the early 50's. Prior to the war on/off switches were pretty much non existent in radios down here. At least it was looked after rather than sitting in a shed for decades
Good one Frank. Looks like a highly collectible toaster instead of a radio BTW.
It's probably worth more as a toaster Steve lol
@@exeterslab7781 Is it for sale? I have bread
Thanks Frank, that radio is as old as me 😁
You're as young as you feel Mike :)
Nice one Frank. I haven't seen this model with that valve lineup. I reckon it was a Friday & use up what valves are left !😁
You're probably right Baz lol. Any idea why I got full volume when I switched off the variac?
@@exeterslab7781 no, doesn't make any sense at all.
Might never do it again, until the customer gets it back, 😆
@@techobaz55 lol with my luck yes!
Another one bites the dust. Thumbs up from me. 👍
Thanks Terry :)
