Summary
| Description |
English: An antique grid-leak resistor and capacitor unit used in vacuum tube radio receivers from an advertisement in a 1926 radio magazine. It consists of a cartridge shaped replaceable 2 megohm resistor in a holder and a mica capacitor built into the base of the holder. It was used in grid-leak detector stages, an obsolete circuit used in tube radio receivers until the 1930s. The resistor and capacitor were connected to the grid of the tube and served as a biasing circuit. The resistor was replaceable so hobbyists could try different values of resistance to get the right one. |
