Chris,

I think I know what you mean about farm radios. I'm starting to run into them a little more often, and I actually enjoy working on them. Once I got past figuring out battery voltages etc., they wen't too bad to deal with. Although they can be a little intimidating.

All my farm radios are table models - 2 Zeniths, 2 Coronados, and 2 Philcos, a 40-95 and a 42-122. Pictures of the 42-122 can be found in an earlier thread on the Phorum.

Haven't run into any farm consoles. Since it's the same problem as AC consoles (take up too much room), I don't foresee one in the future. Icon_smile

Good luck with your search.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
