This is a problem item I have with a Canadian Rogers 16/53 radio dated 1942. There is a coiled wire hanging in mid air not connected to anything. I've tried to see where it became disconncted from but no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks;Andy

HMMMMM?? That didn't work worth a hill of beans!! (and I thought I followed EDD's instructions to the "T"). I'll have to think about this one.

I'll try to help...............

It just became apparent to me that all photos should be re-sized before posting them. Make them 4 x 6 at the largest....even a bit smaller than that would be good I think.

Lets try that again.....

Hi Dennis; Thanks for pulling up my picture; what am I not doing correctly? You obviously typed in my image address from my last posting but you probably added something to it to bring it up. Also can you tell me how to resize the picture? I really appreciate the information and this is really going to be great as "a picture is worth a thousand words". Thanks again; Andy

That's one sharp picture!

Andy,

I've created a separate post entitled "How to Post a Photo"....it also mentions a way to resize photos.

I printed out the schematic on this one.....I thought that wire might be what's called a "gimmick" coming of of a transformer......however I can't spot a gimmick on the diagram. What transformer is it connected to ? Could it possibly be a grid cap wire with the end broken off ?

Weeeeeellllll....I could see your pics definition almost being to the point of counting turn capabilities ! And that construction of that
"bendable" wire utilizing the.... coil would upon cord technique of fabrication.... thus, affording a high degree of flexibility in that manner.

BUT..getting down to the, yet unanswered, query that you put forth:

Since you also didn't mention the identity of the component depicted, I couldn't positively zero in onto a schematic source of your particular unit but if your unit is an older unit of non superheterodyne...common TRF circuitry. Would that coil shown, possibly be the final RF unit prior to the detection circuitry of the receiver ?
REF:

As this stage is the final unit just prior to the detection process and the stage is just brimming with RF level, the closer positioning of that gimmick lead could permit modifying the degree of RF coupling into that stage via capacitance in addition to the otherwise already fixed inductive coupling present between the coils.
