Snagged Me a 51C2A Clock Radio
开云体育Hey, Justin, go into the photos section and take a peek at my 51.? I sent the cabinet out for restoration and took the clock apart to oil it, checked the tubes and replaced the filter caps. ? Did this about 10 years ago, it now occupies a place of honor on my fireplace mantle and keeps perfect time. ? BTW, weird but, in my 51, both speakers were NG and replaced them, not an easy task since they have welded brackets on them.? Go figure. ? Bill K2WH ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Justin Bowser - KI5GKD ? Haven't done much Hallicrafters lately but I always try to keep an eye out for something that might interest me.? I found this on GoodWill's auction site and I thought they wanted too much for it so the auction ran and no bids.? It was relisted with the same price and after some mental arm twisting with myself I pulled the trigger on it. ? It arrived in good shape and was packed very well.? After unwrapping all the bubble wrap I decided to live dangerously and plugged it in.? I turned it on and no hum - big surprise - and the only thing that was irritating was scratchy noises when tuning.? All that aside it tuned in my favorite station just fine and the clock (Telechron mvt) kept perfect time the couple days I left it plugged in.? Once out to the shop and getting the dust blown out I cleaned the tuning capacitor shaft and the scratching went away.? ? I will put it up on the shelf and re-cap it after a couple other projects get finished.? Here's some pics... ? 73, ? -- Justin B. -- K2WH |
