I've got a receiver that has no identifiable markings and I wonder if
anyone can assist me in learning what it is? The receiver can be viewed at http://img.villagephotos.com/imageview.aspx?i=24536290 It is 10-inches wide, 8-inches deep and 8-inches high. It contains two tubes and I presume it to be a regenerative. The two tubes are a 6J5 and a 6J7. Since the receiver has such a cloak of mystery surrounding it, I have no way of knowing if those were original tubes or substitutions. The 6J5 may very well have been a substitute for an original 6C5. The 6J7 may have been a substitute for a 6W7. At first I believed the receiver to be a derivation of either a National SW series or possible a homebrew Frank Jones regen. However the die cut of the cabinet and extrusions are too professional to be a homebrew nor does the wiring job underneath suggest a factory made unit. The two pointer knobs were on the receiver when I bought it although, to me anyway...they look too modern for the rest of the vintage of the receiver. Band is selected with a plug in coil. The coil that was included was homebrewed and without marking. The style, circuit and tube choice suggests a vintage of very late 1920s or 1930s era. If any of you have any ideas or guesses I would welcome them. Thanks. WA9VLK |
