Philco radio used surface barrier transistors

摘要

Following Ian Batty's Vintage Radio article in the February 2015 edition issue, I was inspired to send you some photos of my Philco T9-126 which uses nine of the same surface barrier transistors. My hobby is vintage radio and I have accumulated dozens of sets over my 70 years. This set was given to me by a late retired owner/manager of a major Dunedin department store who spent his later years living here in Wanaka. Unfortunately, it arrived with old flat and leaky batteries installed and it took some time to clean the holders and get it working. I have replaced all the original electrolytic capacitors as they were well out of "spec" and also leaky.
