My kolster is fully operational!!!!

OMy Kolster fully running now. Sounds great. Those 71a tubes unappreciated. Set has headphone plug and handy phono plug for input. Will post a video of set running when can. 3 chassis beast with speaker! What video format accepted for website?

The dial cord broke! I really enjoyed fiddling with the dial to tune stations. Had small cord perfect for old radio dials. Replaced old bypass caps and st works better now since had tuner chassis out.

The phono input is great for streaming Playlist from my phone for something modern listening when not using AM. It's a shame these sets exist ONLY IN PARTS sets on the web since the butchers don't appreciate these sets. When will they realize no more parts needed for rare radio sets with limited value even when restored?? Is someone finally going to liquidate the dismantled sets so someone can recreate a complete radio????

A separate high impedance headphone jack connects parallel to primary of audio output xfmr. NOT low impence connection!
Definitely high end for its time.
