David, I did know about that. They are very rare. I have the standard Sonomatic AM only. There were two kinds of owner manuals.Almost all of them had what looked like a handwritten message on the inside cover saying "Suggest you read jack instructions on page 60." The rare one says "Suggest you read short wave radio information page 97" and For use of jack see page 59". I have both versions of the manual .. as close as I will get to the short wave.

Short wave was very big then since people wanted to keep up with the war in Europe.<br />

First I must say it is a very nice looking set. I am partial to 1920's radios of all makes and you have a nice one.<br />
If I was pretty certain that this was the set featured in the article AND I had the original magazine to display with the radio I would not hesitate to put it back the way it was originally configured. The later amateur modifications would not be important to me except that I would keep a photographic record of the 'as found' condition.<br />

Similar situation: my '41 Buick has a starter button on the dash. It does not belong there. A previous owner made the modification when the accelerator pedal starter linked to a switch on the carb stopped working. I put in a proper carburetor and next will rewire the switch. No regrets. I will probably use the same…tag:ehscott.ning.com,2017-03-16:3925821:Comment:570312017-03-16T11:14:21.594ZKent Kinghttps://ehscott.ning.com/profile/KentKing
<p>I will probably use the same base, trying as much as possible to leave major components in the same (or very close) location. I will salvage all the bus wire and reuse as much as possible, substituting NOS or new only where I have changes. It will be time consuming simply because I will try to use as much original material as possible.</p>

<p>The two images give you all some idea of the differences between the magazine article and the set. It's probably 75% following the article, but the diversions are interesting. Anyway...I really appreciate everyone's opinions. I appears unanimous to restore it back to the Citizen's Radio Callbook article. The CRCB article is a unique set for sure: the 4 IF tubes are supposed to be CX-12/WX-12. The rest are 01As except the final output (71A). This set is wired for the first 3 IF tubes to have…</p>

The CRCB article is a unique set for sure: the 4 IF tubes are supposed to be CX-12/WX-12. The rest are 01As except the final output (71A). This set is wired for the first 3 IF tubes to have separate filament runs (required for the CX-12s). There are many other little differences. As I move along I'll post updates. This one will take awhile, and I never have much radio time, sadly.</p> tag:ehscott.ning.com,2017-03-16:3925821:Comment:572902017-03-16T01:12:27.000ZKent Kinghttps://ehscott.ning.com/profile/KentKing
