Majestic 86
#1

Last thurday I did a little running and decided to make what is probably my final stop at an antique mall I've been visiting for the past 5 to six years. (Nothing personal, just changing interests is all.) This radio has been there the whole time sitting with a $180 price tag on it. On Thursday it was sitting in a clearance area with a $50 price tag on it. I've always thought this radio interesting due to using a type 53 output tube and it basically represents the end of the Grisby-Grunow Majestic line. So, it came home with me this time. Looks like someone subbed a 2S tube for one of the 4S tubes, but I guess that was considered a suitable tube substitute. The tag said the radio worked, but all it does is hum. Still, I have audio and the transformer seemed to test good. So, might be an interesting project.

   

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
