LYRIC JR , All Amrican Mohawk
#1

My 22 year old daughter asked me if she could have a old console radio for her dinning room , I ofcoarse said yes, having over 500 radios, in 1991 I fixed up this 1930 Lyric "J" little console,very nice looking, used it as a working display at a local radio station's 50th aniversity,[1941] played great all that day, then the radio was put in to storage, got it out last weekend. This radio's chassie is a six tube, counting rectifier, TRF, uses three 24's for RF amp, and an other 24 for detector and a 45 output,
The radio played but if you turn up the volume it will osilate, like the early 1920's regenative radios , all the volume control is, is an antenna trimer , we don't have much of an antenna, my daughter is happy with the volume and sound it has ,but I'm not! OK, what's happening? is it feeding the signal over and over in the detector like an old regenitive ? maybe a bad mica cap?
