Gloritone 27 Radio
#39

What I didn't tell you guys was since the radio appeared to be a cross between the early and late schematics and several unique parts missing and a hodge podge of wiring and being fairly simple, I removed everything from the chassis except the tube sockets. I then set out to repair the antenna coil and then rewire the chassis and replace all caps and resistors. Not many of either. The main candohm was totally shot. I rewired the chassis according to the early schematic. The only problem I had was one of the antenna coil wires (gird cap) got shorted to the can. Once that was fixed it play nicely. I always wanted to try that. I did make notes for the transformer connections.
