[NJARC] Mystery Clarostat in Mystery Radio

[n3ibx]

Don't be mislead by the missing flux on the capacitor. It should have flux 
at 0, 180, and 360 degrees for it to function as a triode connected flux 
gate capacitor. Zero degrees being connected to the filament transformer as 
a cathode, 180 degrees swinging negative depending on the bias voltage and 
360 degrees connetced in series with the plate of the output tube.

It was probably an early "audiophool" add-on to increase the tessatura of 
the magnetic speakers' reproduction. A definite nifty device!
