The Fine Things are Always Hand Made

Need selectivity,sensitivity and voume control for AW23

The title says it all ... I doing some more work on the allwave 23 in Tasman cabinet that had a speaker for allwave 15 installed. Well some one has been in there before me... The coil wheel is missing along with the wrong selectivity,sensitivity, and volume controls installed. The radio is what part of a collection I purchased of scott radios and parts. I do have an extra aw23 chassis extremely modified to seven pin tubes,tunning eye,bass,treble,controls,etc. It does have coil wheel but the rf coils are modified. Basically he disabled the antenna coil assembly and modified the mixer coil ...WHY ! only the gods know. The only good thing is when he removed the selectivity control he added a shaft and extension to bandwith control regaining the ability to adjust the bandwith from the panel. (Variable selectivity works.) Well I can remove this stuff and add it to the allwave 23 from the Tasman cabinet. The sensitivity control is 2k wirewound pot so with "selectivity hack" I should get a working radio. I haven't check the power supply/amplifier so I may have further surprises.

I have several parts chassis available, and a whole stack of coil wheels...how many would you like? Seriously, if you could use a good parts chassis, I'll find one with the required parts - I need the space, you need the parts.

Let me check tonight. PM me if you want - where are you located? Might be worth meeting to swap speakers and a chassis.
