The early battery operated valve radios such as Ever Ready and Vidor are collectable, but the batteries are no longer available. I was going to build a power supply with 90 and 1.4 Volt outputs for testing these battery sets but I was lucky enough to come across this Amplion Corvette. The LT voltage was correct at 1.4 Volts but I've lowered it to 1.36 Volts to prolong the life of the valve heaters. I'd rather under run the heaters on valves which may well be over fifty years old.

READ THIS IMPORTANT WARNING NOTICE

ONLY BUY A RESTORED RADIO FROM A COMPETENT RADIO ENGINEER
ONLY HAVE YOUR RADIO REPAIRED BY A COMPETENT RADIO ENGINEER

Many early mains radios have a live chassis. That means that the metal work inside the radio may be LIVE (connected to the mains) and it can KILL YOU if you come into contact with it. Exposed screws or any other metal work on the outside of the cabinet or fascia of the radio must be checked for safety by a competent engineer.

DO NOT CONNECT ANY EXTERNAL WIRING TO ANY SOCKETS ON YOUR RADIO UNLESS THE RADIO HAS BEEN CHECKED AND CERTIFIED AS SAFE BY A QUALIFIED ENGINEER

If in any doubt, consult a qualified radio engineer.
