Radiola 18 question
#7

Thanks for looking & posting the exact early Radiola TRF bandwidth info Jim!! Very much appreciated!! I just completed restoration of my old personal Radiola 18 pwr supply and got my set working also. It had been in storage for yrs!The chassis was separated from the cabinet yrs ago and mice had eaten at the power-supply wiring. I had to completely rewire my p.s. chassis for safe operation. I also had to use a small chassis mount spkr trans for it to sub a pm type Spkr, but it sounds great also! My customers set also sounded great with their orig RCA 100A orig spkr. However, adding a pm spkr does these sets justice for sound quality indeed when necessary! My vintage AK trf sets also work well with the spkr-trans added. Sincerely, Randal
