They were sold in several colors and the red ones are extremely rare. This one looks in good condition along with the speaker. They used to sell up to$1000.00 but battery radio prices are down. A Neutrowound in the Ron Frisbee auction along with two other lesser radios sold for $550.00 that was a low price in my opinion. I would think that a fair price for the set and speaker would be $500 to $750. This is by no means a military set, not sure the origin of the reference to Navy patents.

The company was based in Homewood, IL, where it also operated WOK. This undated but c. 1926 PDF'ed booklet, www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Station-Albums/WOK-Chicago-1922.pdf, is very informative on the Super 6 receiver once you get past the details of the radio station (go to p. 19 of the PDF file). It appears to be the only receiver that the company manufactured. The relevant military patent may be Louis Hazeltine's, although the earliest patent listed for him, for neutralizing capacity coupling, was applied for in 1919 and awarded to him, not the US Navy: https://patents.google.com/patent/US1450080A/. Eric Wenaas writes that Hazeltine's work was embodied in its very successful SE-1420, goo.gl/bqfPca, and Mike Molnar's fine article on Hazeltine, www.academia.edu/20593621/Hazeltine_AWA_REVIEW, relates how he and others organized the Independent Radio Manufacturers, Inc., to license Hazeltine's patents and draw on his small group of engineers as consultants. They developed a second generation of Neutrodyne improvements in 1925-26 that the Neutrowound might embody, shortly before RCA won a patent infringement decision that forced cross-licensing and before the introduction of screen-grid tubes that made Neutrodyne circuits redundant. That might explain why Neutrowound only offered one receiver for a year or two, along with the lack of advertising beyond broadcasts; the company's only references on www.americanradiohistory.com/ are in Talking Machine World, of all places, from this period. best, Alex From joeconnor53 at yahoo.com Mon Oct 1 14:13:08 2018 From: joeconnor53 at yahoo.com (Joe Connor) Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2018 18:13:08 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [NJARC] Early military radio - need info on it@ In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <284066456.2915064.1538417588674@mail.yahoo.com> Thanks, guys.

You could use the ubiquitous 2032, which due to modern battery chemistry would probably out perform the carbon zinc batteries of the 1960s.? At 190 ma drain they would give you about 900 hours use (not sure how much the radio draws).? See the attached 2032 data sheet.

I think you have a typo:? " At 190 ma drain they would give you about 900 hours use"? Data sheet says capacity is 235 mAh.? I think you tripped over "0.19 _mA_" on the datasheet. Surprisingly, my quick calculation for a radio using 1R5, 1T4, 1S5, and 3V4 at 67.5 volts is 19 mA.? That would be 235/19 =12.4 hours. I thunk that's pretty acceptable.?? In bulk there are cheap like 12-cents. EBAY , 23 cells @ $0.12 = $2.76. If this is the Kent I think it might be, there isn't going to be room for 7 9-volters. I'd been thinking about using 2032 coin cells for this sort of application, but never tried it. My idea is to stack them in a tube, with a spring at one end to provide tension. *Be careful of shorts*, you'll have a *LOT* of current available for a short time!? This is a little scary, could it explode?? Might be a place for a fuse. Let us know how you make out.

They always come out fresh as a daisy, even after months or years. Costco's house brand batteries have received the highest reviews compared to all other brands. And they have a very long shelf life (I think the current inventory is good 'til 2024.) But since alkaline cells are best for high current draw situations, they may not be the best candidate to be used as part of a "B" battery. But that long shelf life might be an advantage in a situation like that where you're using relatively small amounts of power sporadically over a long period of time. On the few occasions where I've bothered with batteries, I've just unceremoniously clicked together 10 of the cheap 9-volt batteries. If I wanted to get ambitious, I'd probably use 60 of the Harbor Freight double-A's, which you can get for free often enough. The button cell thing sounds interesting. If you buy in bulk, you can get enough to build a "B" battery for about $12. https://ebay.to/2Nzjzfi I wonder if there's enough interest for the club to offer them along with our capacitors? Me, I'm happy just using an A-B-C power supply. -- Dave On Wed, Oct 10, 2018 at 1:54 AM Jim Whartenby wrote: > Just remember > Reply = Poster > Reply All = Everyone > > _________________________________________________________ > The cheapest carbon-zinc cells I know of are at Harbor Freight and the > Dollar Store.

Every once in a while we make the trip to Ikea either in Dallas or Memphis and generally pick up a pack or two of AA or AAA batteries.? I think they are $2 for a 10 pack of bright yellow generic batteries.? We don't freeze alkaline batteries but we do refrigerate them, as with you, never a problem.??The Consumer Report message board feedback is not kind to Costco batteries.? Don't know about what they think about Ikea batteries but they seem to be OK in our tests. Not sure of the reference to B batteries.? AFAIK, it is all an internal resistance thing.? Carbon zinc batteries have higher internal resistance then Alkaline.? Alkaline batteries have a much longer shelf life then carbon zinc or more properly, zinc chloride heavy duty batteries.? I would think that Alkaline batteries would have the edge over CZ (except for weight) especially if the load current is low.? But it is all a cost thing and how fresh the batteries are.?? We have a few tube battery portable radios, I guess it would be a kick to have one operational, perhaps an RCA BP-10?Jim?I wonder why people argue over the 10% of their differences and ignore the 90% they agree on? From: David Sica To: Jim Whartenby ; NJARC Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2018 8:27 AM Subject: Re: [NJARC] Building a B Battery for a portable Jim, I've been freezing carbon-zinc batteries all my life. They always come out fresh as a daisy, even after months or years. Costco's house brand batteries have received the highest reviews compared to all other brands. And they have a very long shelf life (I think the current inventory is good 'til 2024.) But since alkaline cells are best for high current draw situations, they may not be the best candidate to be used as part of a "B" battery. But that long shelf life might be an advantage in a situation like that where you're using relatively small amounts of power sporadically over a long period of time.? On the few occasions where I've bothered with batteries, I've just unceremoniously clicked together 10 of the cheap 9-volt batteries. If I wanted to get ambitious, I'd probably use 60 of the Harbor Freight double-A's, which you can get for free often enough. The button cell thing sounds interesting. If you buy in bulk, you can get enough to build a "B" battery for about $12. https://ebay.to/2Nzjzfi? I wonder if there's enough interest for the club to offer them along with our capacitors?? Me, I'm happy just using an A-B-C power supply. -- Dave On Wed, Oct 10, 2018 at 1:54 AM Jim Whartenby wrote: Just remember Reply = Poster Reply All = Everyone _________________________________________________________ The cheapest carbon-zinc cells I know of are at Harbor Freight and the Dollar Store.? Sams Club has Alkaline cells in high count blister packs but I don't know how cost effective they are.? For some reason, high count packaging is not always the least expensive per piece cost.? Hate it when that turns out to be true. Don't really know the best way to extend battery life when not in use.? Seems like heat is always the enemy so refrigeration at 40 deg F seems logical.? Freezing is not recommended but I would bet that cells see that much cold in shipping during the winter months in some areas of the country.?

The tap for the pilot lamp is on pin 3 of the 35Z5 and the other pin assignments are the same in both the 35Z4 and the 35Z5.? One should check the 35Z4 tube socket to verify that pin 3 is not used as a tie point for something else in the radio. When a pilot lamp is used with the 35Z5, the total voltage rating for the filament is reduced from 35 volts to 32 volts at 150 mA.? So using the pilot lamp with the 35Z5 would increase the voltage on the other tube filaments in the series string, all things being equal.??Who knew?Jim?I wonder why people argue over the 10% of their differences and ignore the 90% they agree on?

If you are interested, please contact him. His name id Jim and his email address is: ih84ds at comcast.net See original email below... Let me know...
