Golborne Vintage Radio

rebuilding a b126 battery
pic 1 remove insides
pic 2 3 conect modual
last pic fitted int box using a cardboard tube to keep box stiff, fitted in a vidor radio .the ad35 is simply 2 x u2 batteries
the pp3 will be changed for 4x aaa rechargables when i get some more holders, the cheep pp3 only lasts 2hours
the only small point is the 5ma standing curent for the modual so realy needs a switch total build cost £12

Hi Rob, sorry for the late reply. But it looks like you have gone to the trouble of posting your project, which looks neat, and at home in your, portable set, thanks for another good idea....regards....Alan.

i had to find something other and cheeper than trying to stuff 10 pp3 s into the old battery ,works well for a cost of £11 the pp3 is only temp because i ran out of aa battery holders the ones that hold 4 batteries you then get about 10 hour use

What about an old fashioned battery eliminator Rob, or do you want to keep it portable?. I wonder if these 90 volt batteries are made in India at all....Regards....Alan.

i have an eliminator which i use for fault finding ect .but yes i want to keep them portable. itried to sause new ht batteries but no luck ,mind you getting old ht batteries is getting hard/expensive i think mike must have them all
