19BG6G PENTODE TUBE SHORTWAVE REGEN RADIO (3.275 TO 12.10 MHZ) W/HEADPHONES

Description

I MAKE THESE TO ORDER, SO PLEASE ALLOW 7 TO 10 DAYS FOR SHIPMENT.
THIS IS THE OLD TRADITIONAL STYLE OPEN FRAME 19BG6G SHORTWAVE REGEN RADIO RECEIVER. EXCEPT FOR FILAMENT VOLTAGE THIS 1950'S HIGH VOLTAGE TUBE IS VERTICALLY IDENTICAL TO THE 6BG6, 807 AND 1625 TRANSMITTER TUBES.
THE COVERAGE IS CONTINUOUS FROM ABOUT 3.275 TO  12.10 MHZ. THERE ARE NO PLUG-IN COILS TO CHANGE.  AS A BONUS I HAVE ADDED A ONE STAGE TRANSISTOR HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER, WHICH INCREASES THE VOLUME CONSIDERABLY. THE TRANSISTOR AMP IS PART OF THE CIRCUITRY, AND RUNS OFF THE COMMON DC FILAMENT/B+ LINE.
YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE A HIGH IMPEDANCE PIEZO HEADSET, USING DUAL PIEZO ELEMENT INSERTS. I MAKE THESE WITH NEW PARTS AT TIME OF ORDER (SEE PHOTO #6).
A WELL FILTERED 18 TO 20 VOLTS DC POWER SUPPLY (OR BATTERIES) IS REQUIRED TO RUN THIS RADIO (NO POWER SOURCE IS INCLUDED). I FIND THE 18 VOLT CORDLESS DRILL BATTERIES MAKE AN EXCELLENT POWER SUPPLY FOR THIS TYPE OF RADIO. WITH THE 19BG6 TUBE I FIND THAT THE RADIO STILL WORKS FINE WITH ONLY 12 TO 14 VOLTS FOR A POWER SOURCE. ABOUT THE ONLY THING THAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE REGEN POT RUNS AT A DIFFERENT POSITION, WITH MAYBE A 5% REDUCTION IN VOLUME.
THIS CIRCUIT HAS MAIN, FINE TUNING AND REGEN CONTROLS ON THE FRONT PANEL. SINCE THIS IS AN OPEN CHASSIS WITH NO SHIELDING YOU WILL GET SOME HAND CAPACITY EFFECT, MORE SO IN THE HIGHER FREQUENCIES.
YOU'LL NEED A WIRE ANTENNA OF AT LEAST 50FT TO 100 FT. IN LENGTH, ALONG WITH A GOOD EARTH GROUND.
I GUARANTEE THIS RADIO WILL WORK IF YOU HOOK IT UP PROPERLY. I WILL INCLUDE A HAND SKETCHED SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF THE CIRCUIT, PLUS A BLOCK DIAGRAM SHOWING WHERE TO HOOK THE ANTENNA, HEADPHONES, POWER, ETC.
THE RADIO WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WHEN ORDERED, BUT SINCE THE 19BG6G TUBE AND A LIMITED NUMBER OF OTHER PARTS ARE USED, I'M LISTING IT AS A USED ITEM. BETTER THAN 80% OF THE PARTS ARE NEW OR NOS.
