Civilian receiver IFT
I have an old wartime Civilian receiver in which the first IF transformer is unshielded. It looks to be originally made that way, but I'm wondering if this is correct.

Re: Civilian receiver IFT
Many thanks Peter.
I do have another Civilian receiver with a shielded IF transformer. A different manufacturer probably. P |

Re: Civilian receiver IFT
So one of these Pye sets really would need an EF39 with good metallising!

Re: Civilian receiver IFT
Yes but I guess in wartime if you could 'get away with it' and not fit the shielding can on one of these civvy radios it meant you had a shielding-can to go into a possibly rather-more-important military-order 18- or 19-set or a PCR?
