Pacific 'Raleigh' 6-valve - a beautiful mongrel
#11

Hi Arran, yep its a nasty hack-job that almost looks like some other radios parts crammed onto this chassis. I found my other battery set which has a vibrator supply so I'm going to pull that chassis for a look at some point... but I'm really thinking at this point that I will make this a mains set because thats going to match the cabinet label and be easiest for me to use. The chassis has the Pacific badge, and I have spare radio corp chassis' that I could use if I needed to... in fact I may build it up in one of those to start with as an experiment.

I'm sure this wasn't deliberate on the part of the owner at the time - I'm sure they had no idea that 50 or 60 years later someone would be tearing out what little hair they had left trying to figure out what the heck was going on Icon_razz

There are no personal problems that can't be overcome with the liberal application of high explosives
