Restoring The Freshman Masterpiece TRF Radio | Jim Kerkhoff
I mentioned finding two old 20's-era broadcast receivers in an earlier post. Some months had passed, and restoring the Freshman Masterpiece "5F5" seemed like a fun project and a quick win. The radio was designed to run on two batteries: an "A" or 6-volt battery for the tube filaments and a "B" or 90-volt battery for the plate voltage.
