Odds 'n Sods:
My old friend Fred the Valmet-meister has been helping me for the last few
months in restoring several "All-American Five" 1940s vintage AM
and Shortwave table radios. These have included a RCA, a Crosley, a Motorola and two Pilot
brand radios. Fred has installed all new replacement capacitors, checked the
tubes, cleaned the tuners, and realigned the radios. The end result has been EMP-proof
dual band radios that can operate on both AC and DC power. As previously mentioned
in SurvivalBlog, these are ideal for anyone that has an alternative power system
where they have a 110-to-120 volt VDC battery bank. A surprising variety of replacement
and replica parts for radios of this vintage are available via the Internet.
