I'm at my ancestral home this week, and I just loaded my old RBB navy
battleship receiver into the car to take home for possible use as the
mate to my Gates BC1T transmitter on 160m AM. 82 lbs without power
supply! I've got to find a manual or at least a schematic, and build
a power supply for it. I'm hoping that, as a prewar receiver, it
won't need a bunch of parts replaced.
Steve I'll bet your assumption will be proven correct. I had an RBB
show up in my driveway one day years ago, and it's a fantastic
receiver. Other than wiring around the unobtainium plug to a Lambda
regulated p/s I haven't touched it and the dial calibration is still
right on the money. I'm sure as with any receiver of this vintage, it's
just luck. I'll see what I have in the way of power supply wiring and
schematic.
I listen to AM on everything from S-38 to SDR, but my current favorite
AM receiver is an HRO-50R1. Love that full range push-pull audio and
the PW dial.
