Sky Baronet battery connector pins
Hello Folks,
I recently picked up a Sky Baronet as my first valve radio. I know that it needs 90v and 1.5v but I can't remember the connector's pins. It has a four pin connector with the pins arranged as a trapezium. The wires are black, brown, red and yellow. Please can someone tell me which is which? Thanks, Andy. |

Re: Sky Baronet battery connector pins
Hi Andy
Great result, be careful you will soon find battery valve portables are likely to multiply The Sky Baronet is a great looking set coming near to the end of the battery valve radio era. The last Ever Ready battery valve set was the Sky Captain Cheers Mike T
