This radio is a cascade of 3 individual TRF stages, each with its own feedback coil forming a Wheatstone bridge acting as a Hazeltine neutralization for the triode (described as the RFL circuit in contemporary sources). The feedback polarity is reversed with respect to the signal polarity through the Cag Miller-capacitance, in effect neutralising the triode tendency to oscillate. The antenna circuit has a separate tuning coil, to be readjusted with each tuned frequency. The tuning scale is graduated with 2 scales: One in frequency from 550 to 1500 kHz and the other as a linear scale from 0 to 100. LF coupling between stages is done by transformers - Push-pull output. The unit contains a separate 8P6 or 8P3 power supply unit with individual transformers for the filaments and the 425 Volt anode supply. A current regulator is included in the primary circuit of the power transformers to compensate for mains voltage changes between 90 and 130 Volt AC. |
