Boy what a dummy I am.  I just found an old post about BoL that casually mentions that the light needs to be half on/half off the photocell.  What?  I made that adjustment and powered the light with 2 @ 1.25 rechargeable AA batteries and what a sound!  Plenty of volume!  Just listened to a recording of "Who Thew the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder" by The Jesters.

Anyone actually have a PDF of a service manual that describes this 1/2 on 1/2 off setup?

Now I just need a wiring schematic for constant 3v dc power source, off the filament circuit I suppose, if anyone has one...please...


...one other thought...if the lamp was powered of an OSC, isn't it some kind of high frequency AC?

Regards,
Gary
