Model 96 Restoration
#21

The output tranny has been rewound and the radio is now working wonderfully.  I have temporarily reinstalled the radio in the unrefinished cabinet and am listing to it as I type this.  It workes surprisingly well not being a superhetrodyne radio.  I really didn't know what to expect as this is a new experience for me with TRF receivers.  Late 1920's people had vairly reasonable radios to listen to even with RCA hording the superhet technology.  Sensitivity and selectivity are reasonably good.  Now to refinish the cabinet. That part I don't look forward to.  So far, though, it's been fun! I find, though, that the background noise is less on the Superhet radios I listen to. I don't know if this is characteristic of TRF radios. And Arran, Tracking is certainly not perfect, but it is close onough.

Thanks for all of your help in this project!
