I am restoring my 1932 Healing 41C radiogram and need some parts.
Someone in their wisdom in the past has removed all the TRF coils and UX valves and converted it to a superhet using octal valves.
I want to put it back to original so I need a set of TRF coils. Does anyone have an old 1928-32 TRF chassis they want to get rid of? They are easy to recognise as they have a 4 gang tuning capacitor.
The cabinet is perfect so the radio deserves to be put back to original.
This is how it was converted so you can see why I need to put it back to normal.

Many thanks to Kevin Chant for giving me an old DC TRF to source parts.

Seems everything is wrong with this chassis. It should look like a 5 valve version of this, notice the tuning gang;
