Vintage Tube Radio Battery Eliminator / Power Supply
Wednesday, July 31st, 2024Line isolated, “Universal” A-B-C Battery Eliminator / Power Supply for powering most vintage battery operated or farm tube radios. Selectable “A” (filament) Supply: “A6″ (6.0 -6.5V) or “Ax” (1.25-5.0V)- 2.5 Amp. “B” (plate) Supplies: +135V- 80mA, 90V – 60mA, 67.5V – 40mA, 45/22.5V – 5mA. “C” (grid) Supplies: -4.5/-9/ 22.5V – 2mA (“C” voltages easily user modified). “B” supply capability can be increased 20mA by reducing “A” current from 2.5A and/or by reducing ambient temperature to 25oC (from 35oC). “B” isolated from “A” and “C” supplies. Two LED indicators: one indicates power supply is ON, the other indicates radio is also ON and drawing plate current. For use as a universal bench supply OR to provide a permanent power source for battery powered tube radios. Small size (6.5 x 4 x 2.75) and light weight 28 oz. AC in: 85 – 265V, 50/60 Hz (USA plug type A). Operating temperature 0-35 deg C. Thermal overload and short circuit protected. Quiet (no fan, buzz or 60 cycle hum). Uses AC line and DC output common mode EMI filters. Includes User Manual and nine conductor cable for neat connection to radio (see photo). 3 Amp “A”, 100mA “B”, up to 270V “B” (using series connected eliminators) and/ or other A 1.25 – 10V adj. Serial number will differ from that shown in photos. Search separate listing under “Battery Consolidator / Voltage Converter” for item allowing mobile operation (single battery required) or as a battery eliminator (using available linear AC/DC converter) for many vintage tube radios.
