Forum rules


The following requirements must be followed when advertising personal antique radio / TV / audio / phono items (such as discussed in the forums here) for sale in the classifieds forum::

  • Titles must START with : FS (for sale) or WTB (want to buy) or Trade or Free at the beginning of the title..
  • FS posts must have an "asking" price and offers may be sent by PM. Are you parting something out? ... price each major part (not things like screws and nuts)
  • There must be a location somewhere in the ad or the members profile (City & State or Zip Code are the minimum requirement).
  • Ads are limited to two per day, and may not be bumped sooner than 7 days after the last post to the thread.
  • No outside sales links are allowed other than to pictures of actual items being sold. No links allowed to eBay, Craigslist etc.
  • This is NOT a discussion forum. If you're not buying or supplying or suggesting a relevant solution, don't post - send a Private Message. Comments on pricing will be deleted.
  • First to post to an item for sale stating "I WILL TAKE IT" it is first in line. Subsequent claims will be followed in the order they are posted. Claims to "Take it" can be conditional on unknowns such as shipping costs.
  • Any "PM sent" posts without posting a reason for the PM will be deleted as they are meaningless to anyone else reading the thread.
  • Once a deal is made, edit the title to say so and the thread will be locked

If your thread or post disappears - read the rules again - no warnings or explanations will be given when threads or posts are deleted.

I need to know how to go about getting a I.F. transformer for my GE 522F Clock Radio.

I simply can not locate one? Can anyone steer me in the right direction :?

Hello,
It has an IF frequency of 455kc, so I would think you would be able to replace it with any IF can having a frequency of 455kc. Don't quote me on that, let's see what others say, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I don't know if you have the schematic, but the links below.

Yes 455khz I.F., not transistor style, but one that would be size compatible to a 12be6 mixer tube.

thanks

Also try old radio swap meets, where you could find some of the universal replacement units.

I've "hot wired" a I.F. transformer from a junker radio to a radio I rapaired and it worked fine. You can also replace the mica capacitors inside if the bad I.F. transformer has the silver mica disease.

Just look for a beat up AA5 with your tubes at a yard sale of thrift shop, $5.00 or less!
