Article outlines how failing B batteries or worn tube filaments reduce radio volume. It recommends testing voltage with a reliable voltmeter, using heavy duty B batteries for economy, and rejuvenating or replacing exhausted tubes to restore performance. It notes common causes and practical checks for homeowners.
Practical guidance on using by pass condensers in radio sets to keep RF currents in their proper circuits. Install across A and B batteries and across 45V to negative filament and 90V to negative filament. Use 0.0025 to .01 µF across audio transformer primaries and test for leaks with a low voltage setup.
Radio frequency amplification uses extra transformers before the detector to boost RF signals so the detector reacts with greater volume and clarity in the audio stage. Typically two RF stages suffice, though one can be enough in carefully designed receivers.
Rundown B batteries must be replaced even with plate voltage present. Overdischarged B batteries under 17 volts and 45 volt cells under 34 volts are inefficient and may cause poor reception or noises in the set. Replace to maintain proper operation.
A brass housing for variable condensers protects the plates from injury and dust, shielding the condenser from body capacitance and magnetic spray from nearby instruments.
