Can this be fixed?. - 10/27/04 02:25 PM
Guys I have a 1950-60's Valve radio here at home that was handed to me by a colleague at work.
It was given to him after the thing was bequeathed(sp?)to him.
Now the body of what I'm asking, is this:
I haven't plugged the radio in and given it a test run, because all the valves are very shiny and I aren't even sure that they've been inserted around the right way.
Also I have looked at each of the Valves and there are no markings whatsoever on them, the idiot that cleaned them, rubbed all the markings off them.
I'll upload some pictures as soon as I get my camera wound up to let you see what I have before me.
As far as I can make out, it's a Bell 5 Valve Super-Heterodyne set as was common here in the 1950-60 years.
I'm not about to go guessing where these Valves go.
Any advice you can give me in the mean-time would be good.
Cheers,
Mike :]
