what could go wrong? without a bucking transformer, that is. is today's higher line voltage hard on these old radios?
rfeenstra, couldn't you just use an in-line capacitor rather than a bucking transformer to reduce the line voltage?

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 |
