I had a few questions I was hoping someone could answer for me.
I picked up a 1936 model 610 chassis late last year. No cabinet. Now, I think the Tombstone version had a smaller 5 1/2" speaker. There was also a "bullet" version of the 610. What size speaker did it have
I'm contemplating building a "visible" radio with this. A clear, plastic cabinet, so the internals can be seen. I often do old radio events, and thought it would be interesting for folks to be able to see the radio's internals. Since I don't currently have a "bullet" radio, I thought it would make an interesting project.
I also picked up a 38-624, 6v battery set chassis, that has been outfitted in a 37-610 cabinet.
I know the 38-624 was made in a "bullet" style and a console style. Did both have the 8" speaker
Also, I plan to eventually restore it, and also hope to find a "bullet" cabinet. What other "bullet" style cabinets besides the 38-624 would this chassis fit in? I also want to try to restore to battery operation, so my next question is: in the "bullet" style cabinet, was the battery in the cabinet, or external?
Also, what size battery should I look for as far as Amp hours?
Appreciate any help or info anyone can offer.
