| 1925 Sears Silvertone Neutrodyne Batteryset Radio |
From 1925 shown is a Sears Neutrodyne battery set. This radio is the newest radio
that I have in my collection of battery set radios from the 1920s. This radio was made for Sears by King Radio Buffalo NY.
This radio was a Ebay win. The radio needed quite a bit of work to get it going. A
couple of broken solder joints first had to be taken care of. The off n switch also was not working so I jumped it for now.
Two of the tuning condeners were way out of alighnment so I fixed those. The antenna
one has its stop broken right off so it still doesn't track right like the other two. Also for some unknown reason the antenna
stage just does not work. So I have gotten a signal by going through the second condenser and the detector stage. I have cleaned
every thing up and the radio looks better then what this photo shows.
