General Television Inc Radio
#11

Went back down to the bench and started to clean up the band switch. Cleaned the solder off and got it working. As an added feature the band switch has the tone control on the same shaft. So now the tone control and the band switch are working. I put on the SW band hoping to here a blast of overseas broadcasts and all it did was squeal at me. Buy this time I thought it was starting to like me! I've run out of 57 tubes, it uses one for the detector. I put a 58 in it's place but I'm thinking that's what is causing the oscillating problem.

ps Fixing that rf coil was a pain as it uses #40g wire. It's hard to solder.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
