Dual 815 Glo-Bulb Regen Receiver AM/Shortwave (540 khz to 19.0 mhz)

Description

BUILT WITH DUAL 815 TRANSMITTER TUBES,
THIS VERSION HAS A 4 TO 16 OHM SPEAKER OUTPUT, WHICH CAN ALSO BE USED FOR LOW IMPEDANCE HEADPHONES. IT HAS A VOLUME CONTROL, AS WELL AS A JACK FOR HIGH IMPEDANCE, 2 TO 4K OHM HEADPHONES.
I MAKE THESE TO ORDER, SO PLEASE ALLOW 20 TO 25  DAYS FOR SHIPMENT.
YOU'LL NEED TWO DC POWER SUPPLIES TO RUN THIS RADIO. ONE SOURCE OF 25 VOLTS DC (1 AMP) FOR THE SERIES WIRED FILAMENTS, PLUS AND ANOTHER POWER SUPPLY IN THE 25 TO 100 VOLTS RANGE TO POWER THE 815 AUDIO AMPLIFIER. HIGHER VOLTAGES WILL, OF COURSE, PROVIDE MORE AUDIO, AND ON STRONG STATIONS THE OUTPUT WILL EVEN PROVIDE SPEAKER VOLUME.
NO HEADSET OR POWER SOURCES ARE INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING.
I ALWAYS TRY TO USE BATTERIES TO POWER THE FILAMENT AND REGEN SECTIONS OF MY RADIOS, FOR A CLEANER SIGNAL. BUT A DC BENCH POWER SUPPLIES WILL ALSO WORK WELL, IF WELL FILTERED.
SO THE WIRING HARNESS PROVIDED HAS SEPARATE DC INPUTS FOR THE B+ PLATE AND FILAMENT VOLTAGES, WHICH HAVE A COMMON CHASSIS GROUND.
THE RADIO WILL BE SHIPPED WITH A WIRING HARNESS AND PLUG-IN COILS. WITH THE COILS PROVIDED YOU'LL HAVE CONTINUOUS COVERAGE FROM ABOUT 540  KHZ TO 19.0 MHZ.
THE RECEIVER HAS MAIN AND FINE TUNING, REGEN,  ANTENNA COUPLING, AND VOLUME CONTROLS, ON THE FRONT PANEL.
YOU'LL NEED A WIRE ANTENNA OF AT LEAST 25 TO 50FT IN LENGTH, ALONG WITH A GOOD EARTH GROUND. A 75 TO 100 LENGTH ANTENNA WILL PERFORM BEST ON THE LOWER FREQUENCIES. AS STATED, AN ANTENNA COUPLING CONTROL IS PROVIDED FOR ADJUSTING TO DIFFERENT ANTENNA LENGTHS.
SEVERAL CHASSIS STYLES ARE POSSIBLE, ALONG WITH MOST ANY REASONABLE COLOR, IF PAINTED. PLEASE INQUIRE FOR OPTIONS. SOME OF THE PHOTOS SHOW 1625 TUBES. THIS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF ANOTHER CHASSIS VERSION. THE RADIO YOU RECEIVE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WITH 815 TUBES, AS IN THE FIRST PHOTO.
I'VE USED A BNC ANTENNA INPUT, ALONG WITH A STANDARD 1/4" AUDIO JACKS. IF YOU NEED OTHER CONNECTOR TYPES, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
I GUARANTEE THIS RADIO WILL WORK IF YOU HOOK IT UP PROPERLY. I'M NOT VERY GIFTED AT DRAWING, BUT WILL INCLUDE A HAND SKETCHED SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF THE CIRCUIT, PLUS A BLOCK DIAGRAM SHOWING WHERE TO HOOK THE ANTENNA, HEADPHONES, POWER, ETC.
THE RADIO WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WHEN ORDERED. ALL PARTS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 815 TUBES, ARE NEW OR NOS. THE 815'S ARE NO LONGER MANUFACTURED, SO THEY ARE FROM NOS OR GOOD USED STOCK. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY......KW7T
