"I did this once about twenty five years ago. I connected an external fisher MPX decoder to just before the de-emphasis circuit in the FM philharmonic and connected the right channel back to to the output of de-emphasis circuit and the left…"

I am working on a Laureate chassis I got from Kent King using parts from a Laureate damaged in shipment. Any way In comparing the RF section from both chassis one to the other I noticed the coils…Continue

I know this is a long shot but does anyone have the loop antenna for the Scott Laureate radio?Continue

"Connecting the field in parallel with the main field coil is a bad idea unless the field is one with a high value like 2.5k for two reasons. One the +250 volt supply will rise to +325 volt or more. Second the fields of Jensen A12…"
"Interesting....that might be a cool thing to try, but Laureate chassis are pretty scarce. I have an unrestored chassis of my own (no cabinet), I suppose I could try it. Would be a technical challenge...

I am working on a Laureate chassis I got from Kent King using parts from a Laureate damaged in shipment. Any way In comparing the RF section from both chassis one to the other I noticed the coils from the rf coils are different. Specifically the FM section is altered. I first thought maybe it is a later revision. However the size of the coils looked odd, too small! I pulled the 1232 FM rf tube and connected my probe to the grid and injected a RF signal to the FM terminals. I found out…See More

"Robert.....sent you a friend request. Accept it and we'll hammer out the deal. "
"Yes I want it."
"How's $25 sound? If interested, send me your address so I can box this thing up and ship it.....well insulated and protected. "
"Bob - send me an email at kent3256@hotmail.com with your address. I'll find a couple boxes to double box it and let you know what shipping will run. I'm glad you will make use of it.
Kent"
"Found it while searching for something else!"
"I have a good dial glass and assembly that is pretty much rust free. PM me if interested.....hopefully, I can find it!"

Hi, Robert:
I've never done a "comment" before. Don't even know how! Thanks for your thoughts. that is really thinking outside the box!
I already have a 6.5v supply feeding into the chassis to supply the David Winter FM module I have substituted in for the blue band. I think it is running about 5.5v with a couple of series diodes I put in there to drop the voltage.. I could likely stick in something like a 6CB6, which are good to about 40mhz and pull out one of the diodes to get the filament voltage right. I'd have to jump some screen voltage over to it, but it might be a fun experiment. I'm trying to add some windings to the oscillator coil to make it reach the low end better, but I suspect trouble on the high end after I am finished. Hmm. I'd have to make a tube adapter....No idea if that 6CB6 will oscillate in that circuit. It's really an amplifier. Man, you really have me thinking.....
Thanks for the thought!
Best
Mike
