Canadian Model 52 receiver 1943 ish
I spotted one of these in a local antiques shop. I don't think it is tested or has its PSU. If anyone wants further information please PM me. Price not known.

Re: Canadian Model 52 receiver 1943 ish
Is it just me or does the cable sitting on top of it look like a regular mains cord missing its plug? I see a red wire, a black wire ....and what looks like a green wire.....

Re: Canadian Model 52 receiver 1943 ish
WS52 only needs three connections to power up - 12VDC heaters (Fils), 150v HT (B+) and Ground.
I would like it myself, if I didn't already have two of them here on the bench!

Re: Canadian Model 52 receiver 1943 ish
Yes I wondered whether that was mains connection. Easy mistake. I asked if there was a power supply unit but seller had no idea what I meant. How is it supposed to be connected? What is there to prevent a disaster?

Re: Canadian Model 52 receiver 1943 ish
Not a lot if it looks like a mains cable!
Probably no-one who didn't know what it was would be interested in paying "antiques shop" prices for it, though!

Re: Canadian Model 52 receiver 1943 ish
I had one of these with a power supply. I bought it from a Canadian Army Colonel when I was a teenager. When back to Canada a few years ago to find my Mum had sold it back to him for the princely sum of $25 (Cdn) about £17.
