Radiola Senior
#1

Today I was at an antique power show and talked to a gentleman I know who had some engine stuff and tools both on display and for sale. One one table were two radio items, one a Radiola 16 cabinet for $20 and the other a Radiola Senior regenerative radio. I didn't think the Senior was for sale until he told the another curious person the prices for the radios. Turns out he wanted $40 for it! I took the money out so fast that I can barely remember counting it out to him! It came with a still good, globe-type 30. Now, I call and tell my radio repair friend about this unit and he almost has a heart attack after hearing what I paid! He says I stole it at that price! How rare are these units? Mine appears to have been redone ages ago for a more common tube, though I guess that wasn't unsual for these units as the WD-11 tube wasnt produced long.

No matter where you go, there you are.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
