I can't find many mentions of the Splitdorf radios, but it looks like it's missing a big wooden case.

Certainly a thing of beauty. My impression is that it's been restored at some point.

A very simple circuit.

They sure have a lot of patents!

It is so simple it would have to be a TRF or perhaps regen radio. Anyone know anything about these radios?
Hi,
ReplyDeleteSplitdorf are best known for their ignition and coil products but did also make a few radios.
Here are some potentially useful links:
R-500 - http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3yc34/index.html
1927 Abbey - http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/splitdorf-battery-tube-radio-rare-find-good
From the look of it, it is the Abbey without the case.

ReplyDeleteRob, vk2znz has the radio. Perhaps you could make contact with him via the call book.
