Replacement Battery Specs for P608-6L for a Model 48-141
#1

I am in the process of getting my fathers old Philco 48-141 up an running which is a batter powered raido. The specs on this site show the above battery pack. http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/624/M0013624.htm . However, they don't seem to me made anymore Icon_smile I had it running before using a very simple DC regulator I built using a transformer, a bunch of old zener diodes and some batteries. However, I am now wanting a more permanant solution using an actual battery.

From the schmatics, it looks like I need taps with 85, 5 and 1.5 volts. While the 5 and 1.5 are simple, the 85 my need a power inverter to boost the voltage off of a standard 12v battery. Has anyone ever done this before? If so, where could I find the schematics.

I am also i need of the battery plug and socket. The AC cord is original but I the plug is broken and I would like to replace it. I also need the socket for the battery pack that I would like to put into the case.

The final goal is to make this chargable using the AC adaptor or a 12V DC source from a car or a solar array....Yes, I know I am crazy for this but who else has a solar powered tube radioIcon_smile My father use to run it off of their windmill that was also use to pump their water.

The more the better. (Within reasonable limits.) 2-5 times more is no problem in this case.Vlad95 — 03:50 PM

Would an output transformer if weak, cause the problems I am seeing with lower B+ voltage? murfmurf — 01:22 PM

Sounds good Gary I'll do that. I have plenty of stuff like that I can scrounge up. I am still kind of new to all this so...Stormlord5500 — 08:47 AM
