Simplex Model PB - Chassis De-rusted/Painted | AM Receiver Build w/ Integrated Q-Multiplier Preview

A quick look at the chassis after de-rusting and painting in addition to a simple AM radio receiver circuit w/ an integrated Q-Multiplier circuit that improves the sensitivity and selectivity; stay tuned for an upload for the schematic/BOM if you're interested in building one for yourself.
In addition, check out my earlier video and others where I introduce the Simplex, model PB mini-cathedral dual-band receiver I acquired about nine years back that's been in storage. The seller at the time told me the radio was from a family in the Charleston, SC area; other than that, I don't have any other information on the history of the receiver with the exception of the Simplex factory was located in Philadelphia, PA then later moved to Sandusky, OH where the company was purchased by Philco and the plant was closed shortly after.

Very selective tuner , the base came out good. Lot's of resto work. It's been so long, I forgot what the cabinet looks like...

[@RestoreOldRadios]

Thanks Hugh. Much work to this point and I almost forgot what the cabinet looks like too. Hope to get started on it in the coming weeks if weather and other life issues don’t get in the way. All the best. Don
