Portadyne Princess coil puzzler - any thoughts please?

[Yorkie]

What Reaction coil?
It looks to me like a coupling coil and a Long and Medium wave coil in series. The LW coil gets shorted out when the set is switched to MW.
Repanco did it like that - see attached.

Oh well, the older I get, the less I know, but the more I think I know. (Delusions of adequacy?). At this rate, it will end up on the pile!

Thanks for the Repanco circuit Alan, which states 'reaction winding not used'. Happy days - 'Radio Experimental Projects Co' as I recall, who used to have an adresss such as 'Much Park' or whatever. I don't know if that was the address on the circuit, (which looks like you left it folded up in your back pocket when the trousers went in the washing machine, though is perfectly readable)!

I'm not sure how the Princess arrangement works because the 'volume' control also doubles as the reaction control.

I've never experienced one of these sets working, so don't know what to expect, but hope I soon will, though I'm not holding my breath.

Right, I'm off into the workshop to have a poke around with it.
