The 282 Empire Five is a 5-valve (tube) set, with a shadowmeter.
Since the original power transformer was long gone, and the replacement was designed for use on 220 volt AC, I decided to install a transformer designed for operation on our 120 volt AC standard.
An old transformer from a Philco 60 should work perfectly.

I replaced the transformer's old, rotten wiring with new cloth-covered wires prior to installation in the radio.
