Now, as Paul says, let's keep focus on restoring radios.
Que tal, Miguel!, Sure, I think your specialisation in these radios is really cool. I was just looking at a Radio Zvezda set from the fifties. Maybe at some point I'll see if I can get some Soviet radios to mess about with but don't think I have the experience yet.
Have you ever found any USSR radios that use metal rectifiers or are they always valves? I'm led to believe that metal rectifiers were used a lot in European sets so not sure about USSR. Do they all use transformers to supply HT and is it always full wave or half wave rectification?
Anyway, great to see you are becoming a bit of an expert in this field of engineering and best of luck with your radios.
