Thanks MrFixr for your input but probably not going to alter this set. The next radio I come across with a power detector or grid leak I may give it a try. I don’t have any TRFs at this time except for an Atwater Kent 35 but I would need to find/build a battery eliminator and a horn speaker first so it’s on the back burner for now. My dad did tv/radio repair in the 50s and early 60s and took a NRI home study course in electronics way back when. As a teenager I started reading it and that got me hooked. I loaned it to coworker foolishly back in the 70s and never got it back! I remember reading Ron’s post on bypassing an open interstage transformer but I’ve never had to try it yet. Good stuff. When the time comes, I will have some research to do!
