  eBay, probably! Handy if you want an unusual clock, I suppose...

  Fascinating! This must been a very early phonograph that eventually led to the development of the Victrola!

• 
  @Timothycan10 күн бұрын

  Yes, it is essentially much the same as the first Edison phonograph invented in the 1870s.

  I'm with you. If the radio was a valuable collectable then originality might win out but as it is I'd go for the better sound option. And if you do sell the radio on you can always include the original speaker in the deal if the buyer requests it.

• 
  @Timothycan20 күн бұрын

  Yes, good thinking. I think I will write on the speaker with a Sharpie to remind me which radio it came from.

  Agree with you Tim, the Cossor deserves the better speaker. I can see why you'd use the original only if you can find a more powerful replacement magnet of exactly the same dimensions, in the interest of 'pure restoration'. Congrats on getting that speaker apart and re-aligning it though! Bit of work that must have been. Fine skill to have at hand, too.

  The speaker I fitted is an ELAC, and I did some research and found that it is a German company, (although the one I fitted was made in England). They have a good reputation, whereas the original speaker was unbranded.

  Good catch. Coincidentally Don has just posted a video on correcting a similar issue but there are many such out there. Maybe a project for the long cold summer days? 🤣

  Tim: Congrats on finding that issue. Funny but just yesterday a channel called "RestoreOldRadios" (recommended) posted a video on correcting a rubbing coil on an otherwise pristine speaker. Looks like a lot of very careful work to re-center the cone. Since you're unlikely to use that original speaker as it is - it might well be worth the time spent to investigate a repair?

  I won't open the other one now! It looks like the two coils are separate units - i.e. not coupled together at all like an IF transformer. I now have a circuit diagram, so I might be able to see which coil it is if I look at the chassis again.

  Nice looking and sounding radio. Is it twin speakers? Thanks Tim 😀

• 
  @TimothycanАй бұрын

  It does look good, but is actually a budget model, so there is only the one speaker, no tweeter. It sounds OK when I play music through it using Derek's modulator circuit. There is a connection for an extension speaker, too. Only mono though of course.

  330 mm 3mm dia silver steel bar was the stuff, I remember. It's expensive, though, probably because of the silver content. One company you could try is simplybearings.co.uk but you need to get the longer lengths, as the 160mm ones are too short. Select the 325mm option instead of 160mm. Other companies do supply this too, but if you order three of the 325mm lengths you will get free delivery. If you're not in the UK just search for 330mm length 3mm diameter silver steel bar. Hope this helps.

  What was the whine at the beginning of the video? I built one of these a few years ago. Albeit a much simpler version that was basically a xtal oscillator. That version would produce a slight whine that would be picked up by the radio. I noticed that halfway thru the video, when you tuned the radio, the whine disappeared.

• 
  @Timothycan2 ай бұрын

  The whine is an artefact of the numerous switchmode PSUs in that room as there's loads of electronics in that room. It doesn't come from the modulator unit. A better test would be to take a small battery portable radio and the modulator outside away from such interference.
