PeteH Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Ahh!. "The good old days" I had a 110V-DC Halicrafter SW radio. It had its own padded carry bag, and went on every ship I sailed in the 60`s. Even when more of the ships began to be A-C, it was possible to get a D-C supply by using a (sometimes very) long lead from the Radio Shack, Most "marconi" gear was still D-C! The problem with using UK house wiring to run 110V, is the fact that the cable size is technically under size and spec; Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 My grandparents cottage had no electricity. They rented a radio and a man would would come on a Friday, replace the lead acid battery and take the old one away to be re-charged. What a great job.
