Stanrad Radio Information
7/27/2004 12:16:14 AMKris G.
I have a Stanrad Standard Five radio that I am looking for any information on,it is a T.R.F. radio that uses five 201a tubes. The radio is complete and has 7 hookup wires, but I have not been able to figure out how to hook them up to my power supply as the radio is internaly different than any other 5 tube T.R.F. radio that I have worked on. I have not been able to find any information on this radio and I have asked other restorers about it and they have never heard of it. Thanks for any information you can provide.

Hi Kris

Your radio has 2 RF stages, a detector and 2 audio stages. 201A tubes were made to work off of 5 volts for filaments. Radios were supplied by a 6 volt car battery and voltage was dropped by rheostats on the front.

You will also need 2 "B" voltages. You can use 90 volts for plates of all tubes except detector. Use 22 1/2 volts on the detector. Some radios use a "C" battery. Not sure about Standard?

You will also need an antenna & ground along with external speaker. Use Stewart Warner 300 series schematics, available here on nostalgiaair. These will be close.
