Default Re: Baird Garrick

Hi everyone,
thanks for the messages of encouragement. This is quite a long slog, but it keeps me out of mischief.

Remember the mouse eaten speaker? I've included a photo of the front of it just to show how bad it was.
I managed to obtain a period speaker from ebay which thankfully had a mounting point for an output transformer.
The output transformer was removed from the original speaker, but is was too big for the mounting on the new one, so instead I fitted a transformer recovered from a pre-war HMV radio.
The speaker has now been fitted to the set and it looks like it has always been there

The radio unit is slowly going back together, it still need its waxies replaced, but I may do this one at a time due to there being no circuit diagram available.

Cheers
Andy
