Kirk's Mistery Century.
#1

Kirk gave that to me to fix.

   
   
   

I have no idea which it is, in the Century chapter on Nostalgiaair this model does not seem to be present.

Now, after looking at the chassis it is my conclusion it is a DC model - it has no rectifier. The speaker is directly driven by the 38 tube.
It also looks like a TRF radio. Not enough coils for a superhet.

Have to wait if Kirk even wants it fixed, I am not sure he has 110V DC in his house Icon_lol

Meantime,

1. what the heck is this copper ring on the power cord (in the center of the still) that is soldered to the wire and the goes to a Candohm that parallels the pilot lamp? I saw three wires coming out of 2-wire cord, cut the heatshring and this is what I saw.

   

2. I take it it is filter caps. No?
   


All in all, if anyone has experience with these - could use some hints.
