Lafayette HE-30
#1

There comes a point where the frustration factor rises to the point where one must put something aside for a while and move on. This is what happened with my Philco 37-640. Until I can get another example of this radio, basically virgin, with which to compare it, and sort out where I screwed up, I have put it aside. I have decided to move on to the Lafayette HE-30 which I mentioned under March Finds & Losses. I opened up the case and looked inside. What a difference! This radio is going to be a pleasure to work on. Lots of wide open spaces, not too many condensers which I will need to replace, probably just the electrolytic. From the looks of things it is completely virgin. Here are some pictures of it as received.
