  • Bemerkung

  • The kit of parts and instructional manual for the Progessive Edu-kit allowed for building 16 radio circuits. The circuits were all AC-DC "hot-chassis" with one side of the power line directly connected to the metal chassis.  The resistance in the line cord was used for one, two, or all three 6 volt tube filaments in series.   The full B+ voltage was applied to the single earphone for a number of the circuits.  In a word, the kit could be dangerous to the unsuspecting kit builder.  The radio circuits were indeed progressive ranging from a one tube triode grid leak detector to a pentode grid leak detector to several variations of a two-tube set with RF amplifier and various detectors, to several variations in a three tube set using the tubes as either a detector and audio amplifier or RF amplifier and detector.  A code oscillator and a broadcaster were the final circuits

    As listed in the kit manual, the parts included:

    1. 1 Instruction book
      1 Chassis - Punched, heavy gauge steel
      3 Tube sockets
      1 6C5, 6J5, or 6P5 tube
      2 6SD7, 6SK7, or 6SJ7 tubes
      1 Selenium rectifier - 65 ma
      1 Electrolytic condenser - dual 20 mfd at 150v.
      1 Resistance line cord - 330 ohms
      1 Variable condenser - dual gang 420 Mmf.
      1 Antenna coil (measured coil inductances = 240uH and 2mH)
      1 RF coil (measured coil inductances = 240uH and 10mH)
      1 Hank of spaghetti (tubing)
      1 Headset - 1000 ohms impedance
      1 Package of hardware
      1 Hank of hook-up wire
      1 Roll of solder
      1 Package of Resistors and Condensers
    2. Capacitors and resistors
      Resistor R1 - is listed as "Any value between 1500 and 5000 ohms".
      R2 is any value between 1 megohm and 3.3 megohm
      R3 is any value between 22 K and 50 K ohms
      R4 is any value between 100 K and 300 K ohms
      C1 is .01 MFD
      C2 is .001 MFD
