Okay, so this will be totally boring and uninteresting. Let’s go!
\n
\nSo I must profess my love of the internet, and specifically Google. I needed another transformer that came with the Radiola 60 for the theremin (the theremin has 2 of the same, the radio only one). The part number is GW-42. I decided to google “gw-42 transformer,” and on the second page of results was a list<\/a> of transformers from a store in Ohio called Playthings of Past<\/a> run by a crotchety (old?) man (though now my hero!) named Gary. He last updated his list in March and he still had it. I got the transformer for $7.75! Awesome! Too Awesome! Plus I got some switches, cables, dials, and a plug from him too.<\/p>\n


\nhere’s the radio chassis since you last saw it on here.<\/p>\n


\nFirst step was to get those 3 condensers out of there.<\/p>\n


\nThen out came the wire and the coils.<\/p>\n


\nHere’s the cable for the pilot light that’s connected to the power supply that I don’t need.<\/p>\n


\nAnd now it’s gone; cut at the terminals.<\/p>\n


\nThere’s a wire that’s not there in the theremin’s power supply unit.<\/p>\n


\nSo I took it out.<\/p>\n


\nThe drawing on the right is the amazing work<\/a> of Mark Mckeown who has helped me out on thereminworld.<\/p>\n


\nThe red wire from terminal 2 goes to the audio outs on the theremin. On the Radiola, it’s the 5th terminal green & red wire that goes to the audio outs.<\/p>\n


\nAnd there is a wire that goes from terminal 6 (count from the left, you’ll see it) to the left resistor, grounding it. I still need to solder all these new connections down and also add a capacitor between the audio outputs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[14],"class_list":["post-507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-theremin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.mikebuffington.net\/02\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.mikebuffington.net\/02\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.mikebuffington.net\/02\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.mikebuffington.net\/02\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.mikebuffington.net\/02\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=507"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/archive.mikebuffington.net\/02\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":579,"href":"https:\/\/archive.mikebuffington.net\/02\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507\/revisions\/579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.mikebuffington.net\/02\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.mikebuffington.net\/02\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.mikebuffington.net\/02\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
