Hey all,
I have a Philco and Zenith farm model units coming up on my restoration list. Wondering if anyone has experience with one of these battery eliminator options, or some other recommendation? Ideally it would be nice to have one that could be left in the unit permanently but could also be an option to buy one unit and just use it to power any farm model unit that I work on. Thoughts and ideas?
Options I researched:
1. Retro Radio Shop battery eliminator
2. Big River Hardware universal battery eliminator
3. Antique Radios ARBE-III battery eliminator
