Crosley Trirdyn from Kutztown
#27

Sorry for the loooooong break but have been in the middle of some house remodeling which is sorely needed. I have finished up the p/s as good as it is going to get. Filament voltage is a little low. At full till I'm getting about 4.8vdc. It heats the tubes fine but I think the transformer doesn't have enough current to give 5 or 6volts. The HV is fine. Can crank it up to 145v or so. Which is great for the 112A output tube.
Did some T/U work on the cabinet. Bleached out the dark spots on the lid, grain filled it,toned it and clear coated it. Looks great but I don't like the color. It's too red needs to be more yellow. So I will end up redoing it to get the color closer to the original.
Electrically I think it's about done as it's working well other than I may change the value of the grid leak resistor. Now it's about 5.5megs will try something around 2meg. Still is pretty dirty with the black crud. I cleaned the important parts the rest is for looks.
Will post some more pic's soon. Right now I have the living room,master bed room and two bathrooms apart. So the joint here is really a mess!!!
Will get back to it soon! Next project is my old EF Johnson Viking II. it's a 100watt AM/CW ham transmitter from 1953. Can post my progress with it if any one has an interest?? It's not a resto but just get it going again. Everything seems to work but no output power.
