1925 Browning Drake
Hi All,
Just bought what I believe is a 1925 Browning Drake Regenerative Receiver which was sold as a kit in 1925. I believe I am missing the honeycomb coils and need help to determine what would have been original for this receiver. I have determined that the mechanical device that moves the coils, was made by London & Provincial and patented in 1924. Can anyone suggest what coils I need to get this working in the AM band. I have more photos and more info from research if anyone is interested. I am based in Sydney, Australia. Thanks. |

Coils are missing, valve holders are there.

Hi Jason,
Have you considered joining the Historical Radio Society of Australia? There are other members in Sydney who can assist with parts to complete your radio. Peter |
