In April of 1924 Chelsea introduced the Model 107 regenerative receiver. They took a previous Receiver / Amplifier pair and consolidated it all into one cabinet. This restoration was particularly frustrating as it had missing parts and pieces and is the only example of this radio I've been able to find. With no documentation to rely on, and no information on the radios it replaced, this became a detective story, piecing together information, advertisements, and comparing it to other Chelsea models until it all made sense. This is what this Channel is all about! We will have to solve an issue with a replacement rheostat, figure out how it was supposed to be wired, fabricate a terminal block for it, and troubleshoot an issue discovered after restoration. Please join me in this journey on bringing this 4-tube regen back to life, which shares identical circuitry to its sister model 108, which is a phonograph cabinet version with a different face plate and the Gimbel's ZR-2, which is a model 107 mounted in a cabinet with a speaker.
