Batteries for the Philco 39-71! - batterymaker - 06-24-2006
Building these for a client as we speak. Had to make a set of my own, so I could iron out the bugs.
I'm satisfied with the way these turned out. Had a devil of a time with the A battery. Thought I'd never get the sizing correct. Now it fits like a glove.
My 39-71 now runs on two sets of five 9-volt batteries and four C cells.

Bill - your pictures have disappeared???

Yep, no one replied, and I needed to reclaim webspace for other projects.

Hey batterymaker, gives us another chance. I'd love to see them, can always use the education. PL

To batterymaker, WOW. Thank you very much for reposting the pixs. I believe it is styrofoam and a plastic/phenol sheet on to it? What did you use for sockets and how were they attached to plastic/phenol? Did you manufacture those battery boxes and if so how the heck did you get them so great looking? PL

Nope, not styro--it's a combination of wood, masonite and PCB. Sockets are PCB drilled to spec and they use the tube socket clinchers. I've found they'll hold battery pins just as well as tube pins.
Everything's done in-house. Had to design the cover based on an original, then they were printed off a color laserjet.
As I heard a British man say about tending hedges, "It's odd work for a little money."

Thank you batteryman. The graphics are very impressive. Must have taken many hours of toil but the results are fabulous. PL
