Have been a bit bored latley as I'm have to wait for Ktown to get back working on the 660L(spare chassis is coming) A member who shall remain nameless reminded me that I have a little farm set.

Got it a year or so ago. After doing a quick survey of it it seems to be in fair shape. Huge cabinet little chassis. Being a '39 model it has rubber wire but for the most part under the chassis it's OK. The battery cable is toast. It's seen some service over the years it has a replacement output transformer and an electrolytic cap.
Made up a new battery cable from some old computer p/s harnesses (switching supplies ARE good for something). Replaced 6 cap and one one meg resistor. Other checked within tolerance.
Haven't put power to it yet, don't know whether it would be easier to solder up a bunch of dry cell or dig up the ac supply I used on the old Crosley Trirdyn. It has an adjustable filament voltage.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
