[Boatanchors] FS: Rare 1935 Patterson PR-16 Communications Receiver

[Dave Hollander]

1935 Patterson PR-16 receiver - $600. Pick Up Only or You Arrange Shipping

This is a 16 tube receiver that covers 550 kHz to 32 MHz. These were 
built in 1935 and 1936 in Los Angeles California. This is believed to be 
the only communication's receiver to have parallel RF amplifier tubes. 
It also has a crystal filter and has push pull 42's for the audio output 
stage.

This one was restored electrically about 13 years ago. It works well and 
receives signals on all bands. The S-meter is not working. Cosmetically 
very nice with a few extra holes in the case but not on the front panel 
and really not noticeable.

*This receiver like most 1930's receivers requires a 1930's style 
electrodynamic speaker. The choke for the power supply is part of the 
speaker assembly.*

I listened to the receiver last night on the AM Broadcast band and also 
heard WWV on 2.5, 5, 10 and 15 MHz. Also listened to CW and SSB on both 
40 meters and 75 meters. Antenna was a foot long piece of wire. Not an 
ideal antenna.

More info on Patterson an be found on my Patterson web page.

*This local pickup only. I will not ship.*

If you want to make arrangements to have it shipped, I will deliver to a 
shipper in Phoenix. I do have a shipper who I can recommend. He has 
shipped an SX-28, a Breting 14 and a few other heavy boatanchor 
receivers for me this past year. All arrived at the buyer in excellent 
shape.

E-mail me for pictures.
