[MRCA] Latest Video, another Torn E.b.

[Ray Fantini]

The second German Torn E.b. set that I have done. Built the power supply, had to remove a bunch of modifications and return to original configuration and after a big search located the original power connector for the front of the radio to replace the octal socket that someone installed so that all original now. The male plug set was from what was a clump of  corroded pot metal that had been buried somewhere in Russia for fifty years or so before it was purchase by the radios owner and provided, amazing how well it cleaned up.

If you never used a TRF regen before there is a learning curve. Can see why US manufactures abounded that technology by the late twenties but have noticed that a lot of the early German radios were TRF/Regens.
