Hi all.can someone kindly tell me if there plans out there to build my own
battery eliminator? I
looked at the ARBB111 and it looks great, as well as the price.Theres must
be a cheaper way. Thanks all!Chuck Near Pittsburgh,PA

I collect antique radios and the old farm type/battery type radios are new
to me so a adjustable voltage in DC somewhere between2,5 to 7.5 I think!
Mind ya I'm on a learning curve when it comes to old radios so bear with me
please.

How many batteries and what kind does the radio use?

You can buy a multiple voltage AC adapter (battery eliminator). They
usually start at 3-V and go up to 9-V or 12-V. It has a switch to select
the voltage. It will power most solid state radios that use less than
1000-ma (1-amp) of current. Radio Shack has them.

The kind of radios he's talking about are the old tube farm radios that ran
on anything from a 6 volt tractor battery to 32 volts or even a battery bank
with 90/22.5/9 volts like the old tube portables.

Did these radios use a DC converter with a vibrator/transformer to
produce the high DC voltage to power the tubes?
