A.C. /MW and 3xSW Bands - Plastic Cabinet
This set was offered by my cousin . It
didn't work, because there was no local oscillation . This tube set
introduced the ferrite antenna, giving a very good gain on MW signals and,
when we put one external aerial, the urban noise of TV/s and UPS
regulators is improved. So, no antenna is needed in urban areas to listen
to the MW band. With this radio model, in 1965 I listened the Beatles,
the Doors and Tom Jones on Radio Caroline broadcastings in the midnight
propagation ; just here in Portugal. In this model there is a tube
evolution, with the introduction of small type tubes for 6,3 V filament
and a plastic cabinet instead of bakelite.
Valves : EZ80 (mains
rectifier) ; ECH81 ( mixer ) ; EF89 ( if ampl. )
; EBC81 ( if ampl. + rectifier) ; EL84 (output ) ; DM71
