pilot:  ; T-1360

These photo's are of MY radio as purchased off e-bay.

I have no problem with that, just curious how they got posted here.

The Eye tube turns out was a 6AB5. I replaced it with a 6N5

The closest schematic for this is the Model T-1364

I have finished restoration and was looking for more info on it.

Dear Bob
Thank you for posting to the model. You are invited to load up better pictures to now your model.
Better in which way?
The present picture (number one) is just frontal - with the right angle from top but should have the same angle from one side too - as one can find in ads from manufacturers about radios. It misses a knob - and maybe you could find or prepare the same knob necessary. And eBay pictures are most often not having full size of 933 pixels we like most.

With such a photo you would have your set in your collection (automatically).
Well done would be to show the wiring BEFORE replacements or repairs.

You state 6BA5 as a magic eye, but in our database it is a pentode ...? Could it be 6AB5?
I presume and have entered that one.

eBay pictures
Often sellers use our data at eBay - sometimes not telling where from they have it.
We accept that members can copy pictures from sales if they state where they are from, the auction number and the seller. I think that is for the benefit of all collectors and therefore I'm glad you accept this.

Our long time goal is to be the most complete reference work for radios and related items.
Most work is done in Europe and I would be very glad if that changes for the US models. So every action from you and other members is most welcome.

Fortunately in the last months we get many new US members - and over all more than 100 new members every month. I'm also fascinated by the work of Alan Larsen who dedicated himself to enter all possible models which are older than from 1926. He shows not only his own radios but creates new models by looking through old literature and loads up the pictures from them too.

You see that often by looking at "New Pictures" (a link left in the Homepage). Today it was the "Complete Wireless Station" from 1915 which made me look at it.

Hello Ernst

 

Thank you for correcting my typo on the Eye Tube I have corrected that.

The Radio is now finished and I will, time permitting upload Photo's Before and after.

I re-stuffed all the original pilot branded capacitors to help originality.

A correct Knob was found and installed.

Sorry to report I had to replace the Grill Cloth.

This is a VERY RARE Model I will get to posting some Newer Photo's

A very sensitive and good player.

 

Regards,

Bob T.
