Yes, when you remove the bottom screws and carefully, and slowly pull on the chassis, it comes out and leaves the knobs behind. Safety feature for a "HOT" chassis. To compound things, I had a Sams sheet for the chassis listed on the bottom of the case, 7K07. Well, you guessed it, they put a 7M07 in there. Not too different, but enough.

I have not even unpacked it yet. The plan is to check all resistors and change any that are out of tolerance, and replace all of the electrolytic caps. I have an ESR meter, and did consider just replacing the bad ones, but I have read that the worst thing you can do to electrolytic is not use them. Also, does rosin core solder go bad after decades of storage? Anything else I should be aware of? I appreciate any and all opinions.

Old rosin-core solder should work just fine. Now, some other things to consider: The unbuilt kit is likely worth 5 times what the finished product would bring. If you really want to be THE GUY who has the pleasure of assembling such a hi-tech unit, GO FOR IT! If you want to sit and enjoy listening to it, FORGET IT, and sell the thing on Ebay. Transistor amplifiers of that era sound terrible. This isn't audiophool claptrap. The are sound technical reasons for this. Read up on Transient Intermodulation Distortion (TIM). As an owner of a Dynaco Stereo 120 and a Sansui 5000 back in the day, both highly touted but solid state, I'd make the unbuilt kit into money, and buy something with tubes in it. My two cents, Al Al Klase ?

Forget the so-called unbuilt value and comparing it to new sets - enjoy it for what it is! Every kit I built gave me lots of satisfaction of accomplishment. I built a few tube Heathkits starting in 1955 and Eico test equipment back then. Great fun. When computers came along in 1976 I built a 22 slot IMSAI and still have it. It's like my child, as is my 1965-66 Heathkit SB-101 transceiver. I'll never sell them. My last big kit was my (computer-radio-related) "Station Control II" I use with my vintage Collins Station.

Old rosin-core solder should work just fine. Now, some other things to consider: The unbuilt kit is likely worth 5 times what the finished product would bring. If you really want to be THE GUY who has the pleasure of assembling such a hi-tech unit, GO FOR IT! If you want to sit and enjoy listening to it, FORGET IT, and sell the thing on Ebay. Transistor amplifiers of that era sound terrible. This isn't audiophool claptrap. The are sound technical reasons for this. Read up on Transient Intermodulation Distortion (TIM). As an owner of a Dynaco Stereo 120 and a Sansui 5000 back in the day, both highly touted but solid state, I'd make the unbuilt kit into money, and buy something with tubes in it.

I agree with Alex's assessment for the most part but would like to point out the one glaring weakness in the initial argument. It is the concept of the "traditional source of revenue." In my mind this is always the cause of death in most businesses. When a business begins to decline, real business leaders find a way to slowly abandon traditional sources of revenue and find new ways to repurpose their assets. When you have an asset such as traditional radio which still reaches a large population, you would think that someone could come up with a way to utilize this asset in a way to make it a viable business. I agree some serious brainstorming is required. I just find it interesting that most business leaders find cutting and not creative thinking is the best solution. I don't want to underestimate the challenge in coming up with viable alternatives. I just wish business people would sometimes take the chance to try a radically new solution rather than let traditional assumptions drive them into the ground. I appreciate and applaud Alex's suggestion to contact them if you have a way to save the business. Any ideas? Best wishes.

Granted this is a small set, and a mile is questionable, but, not impossible. I have about 20 coherer sets in my collection. Back in 2000, as a guest lecturer at Princeton for about 2 hours, I demonstrated from one side of the table to the other with a similar set, HI.

Note the last sentance. Ray Is it too late to fix the AM band? Some engineers privately think so, because of the rampant (and rising) noise level. It's created by everything from cellphones and tablets to fluorescent lights and power lines. Also car engines (That's why BMW says it isn't equipping its electric BMW i3 with AM). The FCC may be years late hopping on this issue, but it does have a rulemaking in progress and yesterday's deadline for comments produced a flood. The Society of Broadcast Engineers focuses on the ambient noise that plagues AM reception. It states the facts of life - the FCC can't do anything about unlicensed Part 15 and Part 18 devices "past the point of sale," and the agency's reducing its already-thin field staff. The SBE solution is basic - the only "meaningful chance" to do something is at the manufacturer level. It urges the Commission to "create obligations on manufacturers, importers and dealers." Otherwise, the group says "AM listeners have media options, and RF noise will make them exercise those options...they will simply utilize different media." When interim Chair Mignon Clyburn announced the FCC's AM proceeding at the Orlando Radio Show (building on strong work by Commissioner Ajit Pai), the one idea most AM folks agreed on was giving them greater access to FM translators. The FCC's doing that. That provides daytimers with a nighttime signal and everybody a second place on the radio dial. But is the FCC - and the industry - up for more basic fixes? Read all the AM comments filed at the FCC here. You may've noticed some radios have superior AM sound, while many don't - the quality of design and manufacturing really matters. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A replica for the museum wouldn't be hard to come up with...a spark coil, 75 ohm relay, bell (decoherer), replica coherer, spark gap, key and battery are the major components.

The majority of commercial coherers that I have are not sealed to vacuum, or otherwise. I had one where the glass was missing but the rods where there and I bought about 10 pieces of 15 inch long glass tubing so I could cut off a little over an inch. Fits perfectly. The OD is 5mm and the ID is 3mm. If you notice, the early EI coherers were not sealed either. Of course the Marconi and the Branly were. My earliest one is an L.E. Knott from 1900 which is also not sealed. The rods fit very snugly inside the glass tube so that none of the fillings can escape. Of course there is a guy on eBay selling coherers that he made (or had made for him), which are sealed, for about $50 each, if you want to go that route. I did buy a few of them 7 years ago just for the heck of it. Just checked and he is still selling them, so look at 311400972601 . 73 - Mike Mike B.

Have lots of buses, a couple of boats, sedans and tanks. I believe the only one I do not have in the line is the robot. Figured one day it would make for a good article. They do work amazingly well. It is indeed interesting that the Japanese utilized coherer receivers and spark transmitters in remote control toys almost 50 years after the coherer became obsolete. It is interesting that during the few years that they were made, the transmitters went through several design changes, however the basic coherer receiver remained the same. The transmitters started out with simple push button spark coils and eventually evolved to a piezo spark generator. Regards - Mike Mike B.

These are the before photos. This is the way I found it in a rummage sale. No Tubes and the Vol/on-off control was missing. Radio Daze came through. I have everything else to restore it. As you can see, somewhat, the veneer is pretty bad. If you can resize the photo, you will see it. The convex sides are blistered. The top and bottom will need to be reglued. Aside from that, it's pretty nice. Reception is so-so on AM and as for SW, well you know there isn't much to get these days. Tube complement is: 6SA7 Osc/Mod, 6SQ7 Det, AVC, 1st AF, 6SK7 IF Amp, 25Z6 Rectifier, 25L6 Output, K55B (W46773) Ballast Tube. The only schematic I could find was in Riders 12-10. Whenever I get it finished, I'll send some more photos and I'll see about another article.
