Publisher's Comments

Many of our readers take pride in the diversity of what they collect. Some collect only battery sets,
others collect transistor radios, others enjoy televisions of the 1940s. What ever you collect A.R.C. will always have something
for every type of enthusiast.
This month we have some exciting
articles for our readers. It takes courage to work on a large 30
tube consoles such as those manufactured
by E.H. Scott. This month Richard Majestic shows us his restoration of the E.H. Scott Philharmonic. Richard discusses the circuits as well as replacing close to 100 capacitors in the chassis.
Also this month, welcome back to Phil Vourtsis. Phil talks about the repair and restoration of the RCA Model 45J2 45 RPM record changer. Many of us are good with electronic circuits but Phil is a master
at the mechanical.
A.R.C. visits the Vintage Radio and Communications in Windsor, CT. This is one of the best museums I have seen other then the AWA museum in upstate New York. Windsor, CT is about 20 minutes north of the capital city of Hartford. It is well worth the visit if you are ever in north central Connecticut. The museum has exhibits covering everything from
telegraph to television to their own amateur radio station. This months article covers their 20 year quest through tons of red tape for a permanent location.
Thanks to all of you who add notes to your classified ads or renewals. We really appreciate the kind and encouraging words. I know that we are still sending out the issues about 2 months behind but it will get better. This issue will be mailed about 20 days after the November issue was mailed.

Do you know that each month the A.R.C.
send out 3 emails? One email tells the recipient that the new issue is now online.
The second email is a list of Coming Events (radio meets) for the coming month. The third email lets everyone know about the newest books in the A.R.C. Marketplace store of books. If you're not receiving the emails just send us your email address at arc @antiqueradio.com.
Anniversary The December 2012 issue will mark the 2 year anniversary since I purchased A.R.C. It hasn't been easy. As I said earlier, I really appreciate all the encouragement and kind words from the readers. Rarely a day goes by that someone thanks us for keeping the magazine in business.
Radio Meets Don't forget to attend your local radio meet. There is no better way to support our hobby by going to a meet and getting to know your fellow collectors. In February A.R.C. will attend 2 meets. One will be at the Connecticut Radio and Communications museum and the other will be at the New England Antique Radio Club in Wesford, MA. That's all for now. Happy collecting to everyone!

The EH Scott 30 -Tube Philharmonic Radio Receiver
BY RICHARD MAJESTIC

The 1937 EH Scott 30 -tube Philharmonic receiver included a lot of features, as standard it had a continuously variable intermediate frequency (IF) bandwidth for 'high fidelity' frequency response, two independent AGC circuits, a
20dB bass boost circuit, a volume expander, a phonograph scratch and noise reduction circuit and push-pull parallel 6L6 audio output circuit with negative feedback. The Philharmonic had two tuned radio frequency (RF) stages, one is switched out on the highest short wave (SW) band and four IF stages. The audio IF response was continuously variable and claimed to be flat topped at all points, from between 4 kHz and 32 kHz band width; this allowed 16 kHz audio bandwidth. Sensitivity was claimed to be 0.5 microvolts on all but the highest SW band. The IF band width was front -panel adjusted by a control mechanically linked to variable capacitors on each of four IF

stage transformers, that changed the center frequency of each IF's primary and secondary, to accomplish stagger tuning. The Philharmonic employed both amplified IF automatic gain control (AGC) and delayed RF AGC. Each AGC voltage was separately derived by an amplified IF frequency tuned gain stage and rectifier. The use of IF tuned AGC amplifiers reduces the distortion effects of tuned station modulation of the IF AGC voltage. Dial calibration was claimed to be 0.2 per cent. The 1937 Scott Philharmonic, was quite advanced for 1937; EH Scott the master marketer was trying to out -feature Zenith, McMurdo Silver and to some degree Midwest.
Audio processing was employed in the Scott Philharmonic. Besides the usual bass and treble controls and loudness compensated volume control, there was also a dynamic range expander and an automatic noise reduction system for the phonograph input.

The tone controls are +-20 dB bass boost and -15dB control and 0 to -15dB treble cut control. The Philharmonic also has a 60 Hz notch filter to minimize hum when the bass boosted. The dynamic volume range expander is continuously variable and uses a "Magic Eye" tube to indicate the degree of expansion. And many electronics article described the 1937 EH Scott Radio Laboratory Automatic Needle Scratch Suppressor noise reduction system for the phonograph input as state-of-the-art. Other audio features of the Philharmonic were a 10 kHz audio notch filter, a 40 -watt class -A power amp employing push-pull parallel 6L6 output tubes, and a speaker system employing a 15 -in. Magnavox woofer and two five inch Jensen cone tweeters.
The set was constructed on two welded, heavy gauge steel, chrome -plated chassis, one for the tuner and control section and the other for the power supply amplifier section. Later versions included a third chassis, which contained an inductor -capacitor (LC) crossover network.
It should also be pointed out here that in 1936 EH Scott had, in limited production a tri-amplified receiver, one channel was used for 30-125 Hz, 100-600 Hz, and 3-16 kHz

frequency bands. This set was the 40 -tube unit, later a 48 -tube, and still later a 57 -tube, called the Quaranta. It employed an 18 inch woofer, two 12 inch midranges and three tweeters. A few Quarantas came equipped with a disc -cutting lathe and ribbon microphone and cost up to $5,000 in 1936-37. The Quaranta's production was very limited. It should be noted that the Quaranta AM receiver started out as the All Wave 23, but with the additional audio circuits (tone, expander, noise reduction, recorder circuits, and microphone preamplifiers), two additional power amplifiers and additional speakers and some of the most magnificent cabinets ever found in console radios.
The All Wave 23 also had the variable bandwidth that was transplanted into the Philharmonic and also had 4 IF amplifier stages but only one RF amplifier. It also used the new mutual coupling IF transformers, that also were utilized in the Philharmonic while the All Wave 12 and 15 used the capacitive coupled IF transformers. The only advantage to mutual coupling IF transformers are the ability to incorporate variable stagger tuning for variable bandwidth because both primary and secondary coils are in the same can and on top of the chassis, whereas the secondary was on top of the chassis in a can and the primary, most unturned below the chassis in the All Wave
12 and 15.
So where did all the New `Feature ideas' Come From?
The use of multi -amplified AGC came from early communications receivers and was used as early as 1934 in the high end Zenith 1000Z Stratosphere radio that sold for $750. Overload of the 1st detector (mixer) was a common problem when strong local stations were tuned producing birdies or image like interference. The use of the pentagrid vacuum tube made electron beam mixing of the local oscillator (LO) with the incoming RF very distortion free but the LO level was constant but the incoming RF level was all over the place but the mixer needs close to equal levels to minimize distortion or spurious harmonics, so the RF section AGC was needed. It should be noted that the All Wave 23 used 2nd detector AGC for

the IF strip and amplifier AGC for the single RF amplifier stage.
Variable and wide bandwidth IF stages were first used in a 1933/34 Hammarlund receiver and in was used in the 1934 Zenith 1000Z Stratosphere radio. Both used the variable IF coupling transformers, the tuned secondary was moved closer or further away from the tuned primary. In 1936 McMurdo Silver was delivering a selectable IF bandwidth radio, 15 kHz and the narrow 3.5 kHz bandwidths. For the 15 kHz wide bandwidth McMurdo used stagger tuning of a T3 and T4 IF transformers. EH Scott in the All Wave 23 and Philharmonic took stagger tuning one step further with continuously variable bandwidth IF, 3 kHz to 16
kHz. In the Philharmonic T1 and T4 were primary and secondary stagger tuned, one up the other down, while T2 and T3 both the primary and secondary were de -tuned, T2 up and T3 down in frequency. Scott used a jack shaft that ran under the four IF transformers, the shaft connected to variable air dielectric capacitors and setup so that some meshed and others un-meshed as the shaft is turned. This bandwidth shaft also adjusts a pot that is used to vary the AGC voltage in an attempt to keep the IF strip gain constant as the bandwidth is varied. Good in theory but I've never seen it work correctly. Zenith's Stratosphere used the secondary amplified IF AGC to somewhat correct for the gain change with bandwidth. Another problem the Philharmonic has is the secondary amplified IF AGC is tapped off at the secondary of T3 IF transformer making the AGC less effective for gain equalization. In 1937/38 McMurdo Silver 1517 used three selectable bandwidths, accomplished by selecting three additional IF coil windings in the three primary and secondary IF transformers and used amplified AGC to compensate for the gain change with bandwidth.
The Bass Boost circuit used in the 1934 Zenith Stratosphere used inductors and capacitors tuned below 600 Hz and by mixing added or subtracted to the inter -stage audio transformer's output, to provide bass boost or cut. The Philharmonic design is electrically identical for bass boost and they used variable resistance to load the audio coupling capacitor to provide bass cut. The Bass control is a dual pot, one for the boost and the other for cut, the center of rotation being flat response.
The volume expander was first shown in

6

1933 in some high -end radios but the identical design used by Scott was used in the 1935/36 McMurdo Silver Masterpiece V and used a pair of pentagrid tubes, in pushpin to modulate the audio level. The expander feature was incorporated to reverse the effect of audio compression being used by all broadcasters during this period.
The dynamic scratch and noise reduction for record playing was probably a first in consumer radio/phonographs and a first for Scott. Essentially the way it works is to detect fast rise time impulse noise and reduce the audio gain. The scratch filter dynamically reduces the high frequency response when high frequency noise is detected.

How Well does the EH Scott Philharmonic Actually Perform

Recently I have restored three Philharmonic radios, two Beam -of -Light dial from 1940, one an AM/FM from 1941, the AM section is identical to the AM only radios. However, some engineering changes were made in the way the variable IF bandwidth was configured. One change that should have been made was the volume control which has the AC power switch and the Philharmonic consumes almost 400Watts so the switch fails and most radio shops don't bother to put in the correct replacement volume control in that had a 20% tap, used for loudness compensation.
With two RF and four IF amplifier tubes, this radio is noisy unless the tubes, three 6K7G, two 6U7G and one 6B8G are new and selected noise free. I've been able to measure 0.5uV with 20dB S/N but this is after trying many NOS tubes looking for low noise tubes. The RF design and mechanical implementation is very good and the sensitivity across all bands is good. Typically I measure lOuV with a 30dB S/N. one of the claims -to -fame for EH Scott receivers dating back to 1932 was its immunity to external electrical noise, the Philharmonic is well shielded also and uses a beautifully designed shielded antenna coupling system that continues that early tradition.
The Philharmonic uses regulated 150VDC for the triode local oscillator but didn't use any temperature compensation or the best oscillator circuit design so the radio

drifts in the first ten minutes or so. Zenith and McMurdo Silver used temperature compensation capacitors and they have no drift.
The bass boost is a 2 -pole filter design (12dB per octave) and is very effective and does sound very good. As a two pole filter the bass boost has less effect on the mid frequencies while increasing the low bass below 600Hz. The 20dB maximum bass boost was incorporated to compete with the Zenith Stratosphere which had great booming bass from the two 12" Jensen A 1 2s and the 50Watt triode power amplifier.
Engineering Corrections that will Make Your
Philharmonic a Pleasure to Listen Too
One major problem I've encountered when restoring these Philharmonics is the
very high audio distortion from the detector, typically greater than 15% total harmonic distortion (THD). In looking into this problem with a 400MHz. oscilloscope connected to the plates of the IF strip, I found that on strong signal levels (greater than 100uV) the third IF amplifier overloads badly distorting the IF envelope. This happens because the amplified IF AGC circuit is ineffective in reducing the gain of IF signal to prevent over -

loading the third and fourth IF stages. The [F signal level is so high that the grid is driven into grid conduction causing non -symmetrical IFsignal clipping or compression, the now distorted envelope is again amplified and further distorted in the fourth IF amplifier/final audio detector.
The cure, I borrowed from Mr. McMurdo
Silver who encountered the same issue with his Masterpiece H and III which had three IF amplifiers and the simple 2nd detector AGC circuit; he put 100k resistors in se-

ries with each of the three IF amplifier grids which prevents over driving te grids which causes IF envelope distortion but does not reduce the overall IF strip gain with weak radio signals. So what I did was put three 100K resistors in the grid circuit of the three 6K7G IF amplifiers and re -align the IF entire IF section. This simple change reduces overall audio THD to less than 3%, this reduction is a very audible improvement.
In the three Philharmonics I recently restored I've found the IF AGC circuits do not

8

work as intended even though the AGC voltage rises to greater than -35VDC on midlevel RF signals (100uV) and without serious redesign I doubt this design would ever work correctly. The chief reason for this problem comes about because the replacement metalized polyester film capacitors I use are significantly better capacitors (lower ESR, lower inductance)than the cheap wax capacitors EH Scott used from 1937 to 1948. The better capacitors increases IF circuit gain, which is not needed. I did notice that Scott engineers changed the bypass capacitor design by putting the three bypass capacitors in series instead of each all going to ground. Additionally, the IF transformers are so well designed they have high "Q". In other words, their excellent engineering of those beautiful IF transformers created a problem for them and now the restorers. Take a look at my scope pictures, before and after my modification of the IF grids with moderate antenna RF signal level.
The 100k grid series resistor trick does solve one issue but the overall problem, the poor amplified AGC circuit is still a problem, unlike the McMurdo Silver Masterpiece V, VI and 1517 which has a better design. EH Scott tried to correct this problem by removing B+ from the one of the RF amplifier screens when the bandwidth control is increased, thinking the listener will want lower distortion and not need high RF gain, this not only improves the bandwidth of the RF amplifier strip but it also reduces the RF amplifier gain which reduces the IF signal level reducing the audio distortion too. Reducing the overall gain of the RF or IF strip is not the answer since that will reduce the overall sensitivity of the radio but improvement in the amplified AGC circuit or improved vacuum tubes that have better gain control range would help to cure this design problem.
It's also a historical fact that during this period the EH Scott company was having financial troubles and I'm sure unable to put additional engineering effort into correcting these design problems.
Final Review Comments
I recently had a McMurdo Silver 1517 on the bench and it outperformed the Philharmonic in selectivity, sensitivity, distortion and noise. The Philharmonic has more audio power but the original field coil 15" Jensen used by McMurdo in the 1517 does sound better than the original 15" Magnavox used in the Philharmonic.

The shadow dial on the Philharmonic is very nice and makes tuning a frequency easy and parallax free.
One major service problem is the 77 film capacitors and 10 electrolytics used in the Philharmonic, Scott used the cheapest capacitors made and they become leaky and often short -out. A good number of these capacitors are in the IF transformer cans on top of the chassis and not easy to change. Another group of capacitors are in the bass boost circuit and in a group of seven 0.47uF bypass capacitors Scott put in boxes that are potted with tar, good luck with changing those. Note in the picture the new bass boost components below the chassis.
Because the Philharmonic uses so many amplified stages it gets noisy as the tubes age and the noise reduces the effective sensitivity or usefulness of the radio for DXing. In broadcast band use this may not be an issue if the bandwidth control is advanced a
bit. The chrome on everything makes this ra-
dio a standout, but don't handle the radio without wearing gloves. If you do touch the chrome with your hands, get the Windex out, spray the chrome and wipe it dry with a new paper towel, this is the only way to keep a Scott, McMurdo or Zenith chrome beautiful and corrosion free for another 76
years. Tech Note: I measure the radio's distor-
tion using a HP 606A RF generator audio modulation from a Tektronix SG -505 oscillator set to 80% and the distortion measured with a Tektronix AA -501 distortion analyzer. Oscilloscope used is a Tektronix 2465 400MHz. The HP RF generator is 50 Ohms terminated and connected to the antenna input posts and the audio distortion analyzer is connected across the voice coil and the VC audio voltage set to 0.775VAC RMS with the volume control.

Repairing RCA Victor's
45rpm Record Changer 45J2
BY PHIL VOURTSIS

/t 's hard to believe that the inexpensive 45 rpm record changer has been around over 60 years now. While they were very popular with kids and teens during the 50s and 60s, they seemed to lose popularity once stereo long playing records were introduced in the late 50s. But now we aging 'Baby Boomers' enjoy hearing those old hits on the machine we grew up with. Problem is, those 60 year old record changers don't function very well anymore. Let's see what's involved with bringing these machines back to working condition.
The first generation 45J had been designed in the early 1940s although it was not made available until 1949.
The second generation 45J2 was made available in 1950 and is much more modern
looking with a smoother reject cycle thanks to the use of a rubber cycling cam.
However, while rubber helps with smooth-
er quiet operation, it has the drawback of turn-
ing rock hard after years have passed. Usually all the rubber parts in the record changer will be either rock hard or disintegrating. This includes the cycling cam, the idler wheel, the motor suspension grommets and the rubber cones that hold the motor board in position. Let's take these one at a time to see the effects they cause.

Worn out rubber parts and leaking crystal cartridge.
When the cycling cam gets hard, it no longer rotates or only partially rotates during the reject cycle. Either the tonearm will not reject at all, or it will attempt to raise the tonearm, stop and stutter in that position.
When the idler wheel gets rock hard, it does not make good contact with the motor shaft which can effect the speed of the turntable. Then when the reject cycle starts, the added load will cause the turntable to stall. Another phenomenon that occurs after the record changer is abandoned for years in a hot attic is the development of a fiat spot where the idler wheel is contacting the motor shaft. While many record changers disengage the idler from the motor shaft automatically or provide a neutral position, RCA Victor did not provide this feature, thus the flat spot problem.

Second generation 45 RPM machine. This one has
a very rare see-through spindle cap.
The motor suspension grommets usually completely disintegrate over the years, leaving the motor hanging in a position where the idler does not make good contact with the motor shaft. Vibration also becomes an issue because the motor is now coming in direct contact with other metal parts. Some of the 45J2 changers installed in complete record players use rubber cones to support the changer's motor board. The cones usually sag after many years, allowing the motor board to contact the cabinet causing noise from vibration.
The next area of trouble is the phonograph cartridge. Most of the 45J2 changers were fitted with crystal cartridges. These cartridges were very sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. In my experience 98% of the crystal cartridges found in these machines will be dead. They also tend to leak, as you can see in the photo. Lanolin was used to fill the cartridge. Another complication is that the mounting holes for the cartridge are farther apart than many of the cartridges used in other record changers. Starting in 1955 RCA Victor used a ceramic cartridge in their higher fidelity models. These cartridges are usually still working after 60 years. When deciding on whether to rebuild an original cartridge or installing a more modem one, keep in mind these machines were designed to play monophonic records, not stereo records. So using or rebuilding an original cartridge will only work well when playing monophonic records. As soon as you start playing stereo records the needle will tend to pop out of the groove on louder music passages because stereo records require the stylus to handle upward movement. So to play all types of 45s a modern cartridge should be used.

The last area where problems occur is the old grease solidifying on the changer's moving parts. The best way to remedy this is to take the changer completely apart, clean the offending pieces, relub them with quality grease, and then reassemble the changer. Also if the motor is running slow or is completely frozen up, the same tear down procedure and lub will usually bring the motor back to full potential.
So where do I get these replacement parts and information on how to tear down these changers? Luckily there are a few good folks who are now manufacturing these parts or providing new rubber for the old parts.

The Vintage Radio and Communications Museum of Connecticut

The Vintage Radio and Communication Museum of Connecticut first opened its doors to the public on Arch Street in New Britain in September 1990. The museum was dedicated to the
preservation of old-time communications equipment and to educating the public about this wonderful history. The facility was very small (less than 500 square feet) and was in a fairly rough neighborhood, but it was a start. During the two years of operation at that location, close to 2000 people from all parts of the country toured the displays.
The original museum housed a permanent display called "Five Decades of Radio" which featured a sampling of radios from the 1920's through the 60's. For variety, feature exhibits were rotated every two months and included the history of telephone, television, battery set radios, cathedral radios, brightly colored plastics from the 40's and 50's, movie projection equipment, and more. Many activities developed as a result of the museum including a vintage radio collectors club, basic antique radio repair classes and old radio swap meets, which were attended by people from all over New England.
Looking for Bigger Space
In June of 1992, it was decided that the museum needed more space, but volunteers were hampered by a lack of funding for a larger building. A few new locations were explored but no permanent location was found. After

careful consideration by the board of directors, the difficult decision was made to shut the New Britain location down and move the museum's contents into storage in a barn in Avon. Even though time constraints hampered the availability of many of the museum's guiding members, interest remained high during the next two years. Phone calls asking about the museum or looking for information
on old radios streamed in weekly. Some museum volunteers also hosted classes on old radio repair under the auspices of the continuing education program at Manchester Community Technical College.
Beginning in May of 1994, work began in earnest on reorganizing and relocating the museum. Letters were sent out to a group of members who had become regulars at the New Britain location. A core of about twelve people began meeting every other Friday night in an effort to find a new home for the museum, raise funds and organize the collection, which had continued to grow since closing the New Britain location. Donations of all kinds came in from a variety of sources, including some strategic finds by die-hard members at tag sales and flea markets. We knew that what we had in the collection constituted
a world -class museum display - all we needed was the space.
As the members of the group traveled throughout Central Connecticut, they looked for vacant buildings that would be appropri-
ate for a museum location. When a promising

spot was found, the mayor or first -selectman of the town would be contacted and a meeting arranged. Presentations were given to town officials throughout the area, but little interest was shown in the idea until Mayor Robert DeCrescenzo of East Hartford realized the museum would be an asset to his city's downtown revitalization program. After a few meetings, the town offered the museum 1620 -square feet of space in a turn -of -the -century, threestory, multiple storefront building called the Comstock Building.

The Comstock Years
Volunteers began work in November of 1995 to turn the very rough interior space of the Comstock Building into a beautiful environment for the museum. The volunteer effort was greater than anyone could have imagined! The talent, supplies, time and efforts that were donated by members and museum supporters was truly inspirational and indicative of the sweat -equity that the museum would pay to a
number of its future locations. In February of 1996, display pieces were
transferred out of storage and into the new museum. On Saturday, February 24, 1996, a grand opening was held and the museum reopened to the public. The facility included displays of radio, TV, motion picture projection equipment and telephones. A small video viewing theater, library and sound effects room rounded out the space. Although the space was less than what the board of directors had hoped for, the museum prospered in this location sponsoring swap meets and special events. The Vintage Radio and Communications Museum became an informative, fun and exciting place that added much to the culture and history of the Central Connecticut area. One of the most memorable events was the appearance of local radio legend Bob Steele, who hosted a morning show on WTICAM for over five decades.
During this time the museum also applied for and received its 501(c)3 tax status from the IRS, making us an official non-profit organization.

ue soared and it became a viable investment property. Once the sale went through, it became obvious that the museum's time at the Comstock Building was limited.
The building's buyer owned a real estate firm in West Hartford and stated plans to move the firm to the third floor of the Comstock Building and rehab the second floor for law offices. No mention was made of any changes on the first floor where the museum was located. Our biggest concern was that we had not been able to keep up with our monthly rent to the city, so they had, in a sense, been subsidizing our existence. We were afraid that a private owner would not be willing to do that.
Upon hearing the terms of the sale, our board of directors took a whole new direction on how the museum should be housed. We realized that the future could be much more secure and our financial status more stable, if we owned our own building. However, securing funds for the purchase of a building proved to be very difficult.
Something short of a miracle occurred for the Vintage Radio and Communications Museum in the New Year of 1998. On December 6, 1997, during an indoor swap meet in St. John's Rectory social hall across the street

Another Move
In October of 1997, the Town of East Hartford sold the Comstock Building to private
investors. Because of the work that the museum and other building tenants had done on the Comstock Building, the property val-

from the museum, we were notified by our new landlord that our rent would double as of January first. We knew that we would need to find a new location quickly.
As fate would have it, the day before we received the notice, the museum had been put in contact with the owner of the old International House of Pancakes building which was located some 1000 feet up the street at 1231 Main Street. The IHOP building's owner told the museum if it ran into any problems in the future in finding facilities, that he may be able to help. The very next Monday, we called him back and arranged to rent the IHOP building, which had been vacant for over five years We had only three weeks to prepare the new location and move the entire collection! For the next two weekends, approximately 20 volunteers worked at a frenzied pace fixing ceilings, installing light bulbs, paneling walls, patching the roof, cleaning, fixing plumbing, and finally shampooing the rugs, to make the space presentable. On the third Saturday, December 27th, two days after Christmas, and in a light snow storm, 50 volunteers descended on the museum and took a little under three hours to move over 600 pieces up the street to the new location. It was a phenomenal demonstration of community spirit and volunteerism.
Putting the display in some sort of order took weeks. But against all odds, the museum stayed open and continued to serve the public. Two days after the move, in the middle of

the week, some of the volunteers were working on the display when two groups of people walked in, one from Nashville, Tennessee and the other from Ohio. The Vintage Radio and Communications Museum of Connecticut was alive and well.
Another Move
Unfortunately, history has a habit of repeating itself and our experience with the Comstock Building occurred again at the IHOP building in early 1999. During our time at the IHOP building, the museum poured an extensive amount of sweat equity into the building, which included cleaning the building's grounds, painting the building's metal roof, and external decorations to brighten up the surroundings. The effort turned the building into a more marketable piece of real estate and when the improvements were coupled with the development of a new CVS across the street, the building finally sold after more than six years on the market.
Faced with another move (the third in three years), the museum put out an appeal through the media for help in finding a new location. Museum board members also met with East Hartford officials in hopes of finding a new location. Amazingly enough, another building that had been vacant for a few years was located down the street. After meeting with the building's owner, a very gracious rent scheme was agreed upon and the Vintage Radio and

Communications Museum of Connecticut was on the move again.
The old Town Hall Hardware Building was located at 711 Main Street and was about a mile down the road from the IHOP location. The building was much bigger than any of our previous homes at approximately 7000 -square feet. Its size allowed the museum to set up further displays, using donated pieces that had been in storage. A library area was created, as well as a radio repair facility. Museum members repaired the building's roof and facade, insulated the brick walls, installed new lighting fixtures and repaired the cracked floor.
Volunteers also restarted hosting radio repair classes through Manchester Community College and became active in East Hartford's Main Street Plus revitalization group. But things were not to stay settled for too long.
In late 2000, the museum was told that the 711 Main Street location would soon be torn down by the State of Connecticut to make way for a wider 1-84. The museum searched in vain for a new location in East Hartford, but the museum had grown so large that no site that was easily affordable could be found. That's when the town of Windsor, just over the Connecticut River, started to express interest.
33 Mechanic Street
In downtown Windsor, an 85,000 -square foot factory building had been on the market for some time and the town was looking for a

catalyst to spark a revitalization in Windsor's historic downtown area. After a failed attempt to form a partnership with a developer, the museum made an offer on the building and the owner, Mr. John Moynahan, graciously agreed to not only sell the building for an extremely low rate to the museum, but self -mortgaged the property for five years. In November 2001, the museum officially became owners of 33 Mechanic Street in Windsor.
The museum worked with the Town of Windsor to negotiate a deal with a real estate developer to convert the building into a new home for the museum and housing. However
the negotiations proved difficult with all of the developers saying the museum would have to leave the building in order for housing to be built. After almost two years of looking, the museum reached a deal with the Corporation for Independent Living, which purchased the building from the museum for a price that allowed the museum to concentrate on its next, and hopefully final, move.
115 Pierson Lane
During the negotiations for the sale of the Mechanic Street location, the museum worked with the Town of Windsor to find another, more manageable location for the museum. This new location was about one mile from Mechanic Street, a 20,000 square foot building that offered the museum one level for easy display setup.

15

The arduous move of the collection took place from September to November 2005, with volunteers helping with trucks and an 18 -wheeler donated by Woodland Moving and Storage of Hartford, CT. The museum finalized the purchase 115 Pierson Lane for $600,000 in February of 2006 and throughout 2006 and 2007, volunteers and contractors paid by a state grant, helped turn the bare insides of the building into a space fitting for the museum's expanding collections.
The museum during this time also adopted new bylaws and formulated a new board of directors, allowing volunteers to concentrate on getting the museum up and running rather than spending time on administrative issues.
A New Direction

From its inception, the museum, like most radio museums, was a collector's museum. Radios were grouped together, usually by style: all the consoles, all the cathedrals, the tombstones, etc. Radios, telephones, televisions, etc. had their own floor space independent of other display categories. Now, faced
with the financial obligations imposed by having to maintain its own facility, the board recognized it needed to attract a wider audience than just collectors.
The board came up with the concept of showing the evolution of electric communications, starting with the telegraph, through

sound recording, the telephone, wireless radio, and so on. The time line was divided into decades, from the mid 1800s through the 1970s. A mission statement was drafted: "To show how communications has changed our lives." Besides talking about the articles themselves, docents expanded their explanation to

show how one development led to another, how the invention impacted our society, and so on.
A gala was held in 2007 to celebrate the official opening of the museum to the public. Town officials, radio history aficionados and others embraced the new museum with enthusiasm. Windsor did indeed have a genuine tourist attraction .
The museum's volunteers who were amateur radio operators had formed a club at the Mechanic St. location but had no space at that facility for a ham station. Now at Pierson Lane, they built a working station, obtained license WI VCM (for Vintage Communications Museum), and erected a beam antenna alongside the building, thanks to a grant from the American Radio Relay League. The station is on the air most weekends, giving the museum a presence on the air as the hams talk with stations around the world.
In 2008, a recreation of a broadcast studio typical of those during the Golden Age of Radio was built with a grant from the DeGeorge Foundation. The studio attracted the attention of The Radio Workshop Players, a local group of amateur and professional performers who acted out actual radio scripts from the 1940s, as well as putting on shows of their own creation. In addition to live recording, the studio can convert vintage recording media (records, Edison cylinders, wire recordings, etc.), to modern digital formats.

In 2008, Ed Sax, retired engineer, museum volunteer, and visionary, developed an energy -saving concept adaptable to a wall as well as a sloped roof. He obtained a grant to build his "solar adaptive wall" along the exterior wall of the museum. The passive solar installation uses the sun's energy to help cool the building in the summer and warm it in the winter. Completed in 2010, the wall has made a measurable impact on the museum's utility bills and has attracted the attention of ecologically -minded parties from around the region who have been impressed with Ed's project.
The Future
When the Pierson Lane building was acquired, a decision was made to build out only the front half in order to open as quickly as possible, leaving the back area for storage. In 2012, work was begun to expand the display area, which will create more space for computers and other forms of digital communication. Plans also call for the space to include a lecture room, offices, a radio repair facility, a room for the museum's collection of saleable vacuum tubes and a record library.

WANTED: Hello, My name is Mark Vess and I am looking for two, (audio, not RF), iron core interstage transformers. They need not be even close to the originals in form. I will pay a good
price for these items. I will pay $50 to $150 each if they measure up to my size and resistance requirements. I need to rely on the resistance measurements as that is what the schematic calls out. These transformers are for the first and second audio stages of an Atwater Kent Model 5 receiver, #4333 that I am restoring to working condition. The first transformer needs to fit into a space of 3 inches by 2 inches by 2 inches. This does not include the mounting lugs as I will cut them off. The second transformer needs to fit into a space of 3 inches by 2 inches by 2 inches. This does not include the mounting lugs as I will cut them off as well. The first transformer measures 35 ohms on the primary and 1000 ohms on the secondary. The second transformer measures 55 ohms on the primary and 1800 ohms on the secondary. Tolerance is +/- 10%. Flying leads, solder tabs, binding posts, solid or stranded leads are all acceptable. Open core, mounted core and potted transformers are also acceptable. Original A -K units will get top dollar. I intend to sell these to my fellow collectors if they work well. These transformers are the missing link for many A -K Model 5 projects. You may benefit from my project if this works. My results will be shared with anyone who requests them. Thank you very much for reading my email. I hope you can help my radio come to life and make you some money doing it! Mark A.

Following the morning session will be our "Kick Off Luncheon" at 12 noon. The afternoon programs will include Nick "Navy Radio"

an open house to view the auction and contest entries. This year we will be auctioning the collection of our old friend
Ted Miller. Ted has decided that due to serious health problems he will let his collection go. It is mostly very nice early battery sets and some early 30s radios. There are a number of very nice horn and cone speakers including several
Tower sailing ship and castle cone speakers. Friday will be our normal flea market in the morning and auction in the afternoon. Photos are on the conference web page.
