We had 8 people in attendance and we got started around 6:00pm: Mike, Keith,Ian, Bob, Mark,Joe, John & Lee. The first hour was spent in the front lobby area...
Hi Lee You forgot to mention the philco transitone I got from you. Found info on it. It is from 1949 so I will restore it so I have one example of a...
My mistake I thought Your Philco was an Emerson 1940's tube portable. I just grabbed it on the way out. Had I know it was a Philco Transitone I probably would...
The original report had some errors in it. So I deleted it but its still floating around since a couple of replies were posted. This is the correct version...
I have spent the last two hours on Daves Home Made Radios website. I was most interested in a one tube radio he built. This guy not only collects radios, he...

Does anyone happen to know where I might find a Hammond 273Z transformer. I would think that they are fairly common. It's out of the power supply for an old...
Hi Lorne, I have about 6 or 7 Transformers, Keith may have some too, I'm not sure. Maybe he can chime in. Anyhow. What is the B+ main winding voltage supposed...
Hi Lee, Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, it's the power supply transformer that powers the plate voltage to the 5Y3 GT. As per usual, the schematic...
Check the Hammond site for specs, although I didn't see a 273z, but from what I could find out the supposed specs are: 95 VA, 700 VCT, 110 mA, 5V 2A, 6.3V 4A...
Thanks for taking the time to look this up for me. I was on the Hammond website but I couldn't find any spec page. Using the 5Y3 specs the plate voltages...
The tubes are probably good but when sitting for so long oxygen poisons the cathode. The cure is to run them for about 12 hrs and retest them You could leave...
I think Keith's suggestion just may work. If you could use the tube in an actual powered circuit (where plate voltage is applied) it might even work better -...
Hi I just talked to John at Pacific TV and he said it should have plate voltage on it to fix the tube so leaving it in a tube checker wont work. It would...
