The National Radio Co. started as a toy company in 1916 and was soon making household appliances. Radio was not part of their production until the mid '20s when they stared making components. National became the  parent company of the famous Browning-Drake receivers of the 1920s. By the mid 1930s, they were well on the way to becoming one of the top manualfactures of communication & amateur radio equipment.

OFFERED FOR SALE: The above 4 tube, small regenerative UHF receiver (measures just 11 x 8 x 7") in exceptionally clean and in working condition. The vernier tuning control tunes the entire coverage of 1 - 11 meters. The power is supplied from a separate (not included) power supply. Other circuit features are tuned RF and AVC. Six different coil sets are needed to cover the entire 1 - 11 meters. One coil set (F) is included, others I do not have.

Speaker and power supply are not included. Speaker requirements are not critical, anything from 2000 - 7000 ohm impedance will suffice. Works best with a standard PM speaker with a typical single ended output transformer as the output connections go direct to the output tube plate and B+.

Power requirements: filament; 6.3 volts @ 1.6 amps (AC or DC), B+ @ 180 volts nominal. I do not have the power supply but as noted it can be operated from batteries or a power supply would be a simple construction project.

Instruction manual, schematic and parts list are available for the above as a separate purchase.

$175.00 + $19.00 S&H NOW *FREE SHIPPING within the continental USA (*shipping fee will be refunded if purchased with PayPal) Instruction manual with schematic and parts list is included.
