Obtained December 2019 as payment for the simple repair of two other radios which the owner cherished as family heirlooms.
The owner had refinished the cabinet himself, doing an admirable job, but he did not restore the interior as he did not have the skill to do this work.
I did the full restoration work of the interior January 22; about a 22 hour job.

This radio was built in Canada by the Rogers-Majestic Corporation ca 1934-1935. It is a 4-tube superheterodyne. Usually these are 5-tube, but this model uses a relatively obscure 6H7 tube which combines the AF triode and output pentode in a single envelope.

No major problems were apparent. The power switch behind the volume control was defective. I tried dismantling it to repair, but found it to be irreparable, so I had to replace the complete volume control unit.  The speaker had a “scratchy” sound traced to dirt and debris between the voice coil and the magnet. This was cleaned out to restore good sound. I re-capped using polyester film capacitors which are finished in a bright yellow. I personally do not like the look of this in a vintage radio, and so I coloured them all black with a black marking pen. These blend in well with the overall look under the chassis, as seen in the “after” photo.
It’s amazing to note the difference in size of that large yellow power supply filter capacitor, and the modern replacement units. Where possible, I install these new capacitors into the original container, but decided against that in this particular case.

The 6A7 oscillator/mixer tube was very weak. I had an original Rogers “spray shield” 6A7S tube in stock, and so used this as a replacement. The original 6A7 was likely a spray shield tube as this was made by Rogers.
