Marvelo?
#1

Has anyone heard of the radio brand marvelo or maybe a parent company? I was given a 7 tube, 2 thumbwheel dial early radio (trf?) that other than some cut wires and missing both of the audio transformers is in great shape, I would like to restore it to working condition but I can not find any info on the radio or brand name. Although all 7 tube sockets are 4 pin I dont know if it takes all 01a's or not. I will post a pic later.
Thanks for any info,
Todd

Marvelo was a trade name used by the Radolek Co.

Thanks, but the marvelos they have on nostalgia air under radiolek are newer ac schematics.
Even though early radios are simple designs how would one know what tubes and transformer ratios to use without a schematic?
