MERCURY SUPER 10
The Story of Mercury 10
By Don Patterson
Mercury by
Giovanni Bologna
of Italy
1 RADIO AGE
Many thousands of years
ago, before man became the
inventive genius that he is
today, there lived, according
to mythology, a Grecian God
named Mercury. To the
ancient Greeks, Mercury was
the god chosen to preside
over all sports, matters of
state, commerce, art and fine music.
Today we picture Mercury only as a
messenger-as a man of speed, with wings on his
head and feet. But to the ancients, mercury was a
man of culture and refinement, a lover music,
who was said to have invented a type of harp,
known as the Lyre.
(continued on page 2)
(continued from page 1)
The culture, charm and diplomacy of Mercury,
and his ability to cover great distances with such
re markable speed, made him the valuable assistant of the god of gods, Jupiter. When the gods
were to be summoned toge ther, it was Mercury
who was sent to call them in. At times of banqu e t, mercury furnished the music and entertainm e nt.
By reason of his tact and diplomacy it was
mercury who was sent to pacify the gods when
th e re was troubl e be twee n th em. With the aid of
his music h e is said to have won many favors
from th e differe nt d ei ti es.
It is from mercury th at th e MERCURY SUPER
TEN d e ri ves its name. As yo u read on, you will
see how this radio receiving set, like the god
Mercury, is able to cover distance in a flash,
bringing to its ow ne r, mu sic, en te rtainment, and
that feeling of satisfaction de ri ved from knowing
that he ha s th e best.
The first 10 peanut tube Superheterodyne was
built in th e laboratories of th e H.M. Kipp Co., Ltd .
in June 1924 . It was built as the outcome of a
long series of experiments ex te nding back several
years, and h aving as its object the development of
a Radio Receiver of the hi ghest quality, es pecially
suited to th e p ec uliar needs of th e Canadian
people.
It is something more than m ere "a dve rtising
talk " to say that Canadian broadcas t li s ten e rs need
a receive r that is somewhat diffe re nt from that
which would be sufficient for th e need s of a
citizen living, for exa mpl e, in th e United States of
America.
Certain atmospheric and te rres trial conditions
obtai n in su ch countries as Canada, South American a nd Australia, which impose obligations on a
radio receiver that very few of even the bes t
American types of sets can mee t satisfactorily.
The effec ts on radio waves of mineral d eposits,
forest areas with sharp differences in climatic conditions, and the peculiar antics of the earth's ma gn e ti c field (whose of greatest inte nsity is the
North Magnetic Pole loca ted in northern Canada)
all have a bea ring on radi o res ults. Let us, however, take tim e to consider one simple case-th e
distribution of populati on .
There we re about 60 Canadian broadcast ing
stations se rving a population rou g hly esti mated at
9 millions of p eople, scattered far and wide over a
country whose boundari es a re sepa rated by thou sands of mil es. This mean t that a Canadian liste ner who wa nted program variety ha d to reach
ou t fart h e r for his e nte rtainme nt. In th e United
States with its 700 s tatio ns a liste ne r was n eve r
ve ry far from several powerful s ta ti ons, but in
Canada-well , th e re were numero us MERCURY

The Smithsonian Helps Celebrate 50 Years of Television
1989 was the celebration of fifty years of television. The Smithsonian had a display of early television sets from May to October. On my way up
to the A WA meet, I decided to stop in Washington
and photograph the display.
Among the items, there was the restored plexiglass TRK12 shown at the 1939 World's Fair. In
addition, there was "Felix" the cat used in scanning disc television transmission. In the background, there were a multitude of pre-1940 and
post-war televisions including a Stromberg
Carlson mirror in the lid and Pilot 3 inch TVs.

Project Mercury
The Restoration of a Mercury Superhet
By Charles Rhodes
The loudspeaker is a magnetic speaker, very
sensitive but poor in fidelity. This set uses the
Western Electric type 215-A tube in all ten sockets. The 215-A is the original "peanut tube", tiny
even compared to the 199 used at the time by
RCA . This tube is remarkably economical of
battery power so even a complement of tubes was
viable. In the set, two filament series strings are
powered by a storage battery which supplies 1/2
ampere (fig. 1). Ten of these tubes drained the A
battery at the same rate as a 2 tube set using 01A's, such as the Crosley 51. The WE-215A was
manufactured in Canada by northern Electric and
was th erefore available to the Toronto firm.
The 215-A was not intended as a "power tube"
but two driven push-pull provide a lot of volume
with the magnetic speaker. Two tubes in pushpull can provide more than twice the output of
one as they can be driven harder without generating even harmonics distortion. To get this power
a 9 volt "C" battery is required and the audio.
stages operate at 135 volts. The osc., mixer, l.F.
amplifiers (4 of them), second detector operate on
67.5 volts.
A serious design defect is in the loud-soft
switch circuit. When in the soft position, a 50,000
ohm resistor shunts the secondary of an audio
interstage transformer (fig. 2), but the switch
connects this resistor effectively across the 9 volt
"C" battery, considerably shortening its life. If the
"C" battery is weak, sound is distorted, B battery
life decreases and the audio tubes age prematurely. The schematic I obtained with my Mercury
Super-Ten doesn ' t show either of the two 1.0 uFd
paper bypass condensers but the set has them and
I'm sure it couldn 't be stable without them, considering the number of IF stages . I've shown them
in fig. 3.
When my set arrived from British Columbia ,
all 10 tubes were present and "GOOD". More remarkable, all three audio transformers were OK,
but the two paper bypass condensers tested leaky.
A good paper condenser has no leakage current
even with 135 volts. I removed the condenser
innards, replaced them with 1 uFd 250 volt capacitors from Radio Shack 272-1055. These fit inside
the metal box so look original.
But the radio wouldn't play when powered up.
By listening to a nearby AM set near the workbench, tuned to a weak station mid-band, I found
by tuning the oscillator that the oscillator was
operating, but that wasn't the only thing oscillating. The problem was traced to corrosion of the
nuts which, not having any lock washers, were
5 RADIO AGE
now making poor connections between the bypass
condensers and the receiver circuitry. I was
pleased that the trouble was found outside the
copper shielded RF/IF part of the receiver as it
would have been very hard to disassemble it.
Clearly, it was not designed to the taken apart.
Only the IF transformers are inside the shielded
box (fig. 4). However, another poor connection
was found. The plate bypass on the second detector and one lead of the oscillator coil ground to
copper box via an iron machine screw and nut and
alas, no lock washer. With the copper surface
slightly affected by its age and the same for the
corner bolt and nut, there was a nice or not so
nice feedback from the detector to the mixer via
the oscillator so the whole RF/IF system was
oscillating, or at least went into oscillation as th e
gain was increased to find stations.
Once I removed the nuts, cleaned them, and
installed lock washers, the speaker sang, the IF
was "quiet" now. See below:
The magnetic speaker at first was very faint
and highly distorted. The trouble was that it was
out of alignment, the armature no longer centered
between pole pieces. There is no adjustment
screw so I bent the armature where it drives th e
metal diaphragm. Sure enough, the volume
increased a hundred fold from barely audible in a
quite room to loud! First I prodded the armature
with a pencil's eraser and found the volume
increased, so I knew I had to bend it in the same
direction as before.
The final restoration task is to replace the
rubber insulated, cloth covered battery cable with
cable from Olde Tyme Radio Company. The
antenna and ground connections and the battery
leads all plug-in via an early form of multiple pin
connector at rear of chassis.
This receiver is very sensitive and selective.
When first tried out, with no antenna at all the
mixer coil picked up several local stations. As a
loop antenna, the mixer coil is only 3" diameter,
virtually, but not quite ineffective. Due to the
number of self resonant IF tuned circuits, the tone
is poor as higher audio frequencies do not reach
the detector, but in a very sensitive receiver,
limiting frequency response improves signal-tonoise ratio.
Another impressive superhet by this firm was
offered 1930-1931. It used 2 volt screen grid
tubes, type 232 as mixer and in 4 stages of IF
amplification. I've never seen one of these and am
anxious to add several screen grid superhets to
my collection of vintage radios of North America.

COMMENTS ON PERFORMANCE
OF A-53 TRANSFORMER
By
J.C. New ton
It was with interest that I read the article on
the A53C audio transformer in the April 1990
issue. My conclusion for its use in any audio
system that will sound well is exactly the opposite
of that of the April article. The tip-off was when I
had constructed the audio portion of one of Hugo
Gernsbach's 1920's circuits and fed the output
u sing a step down transformer into a modern day
eight ohm twelve inch speaker . See the schematic
with the black dot. The low notes were comple tely missing and it had a "tinny" sound similar
to an old non-electric 78 rpm playe r .
Using an audio signal g enerator and an AC
voltmeter, the chart I made confirmed what I had
heard with my ears: the curve was very bell
shaped. The measurement was not made on an
open secondary. Suspecting the lack of iron mass
in the transformers, I rebuilt the circuit (as shown
at X) using capacitance coupling. The improvement in sound was amazing! I could now hear all
the low notes, the "tinniness" disappeared, and the
high notes were there. The drop in volume was
slight.
Next I tried capacitance coupling with impedance power using one side of the A53C, (as shown
in circuit with circle); this curve was similar to the
first one and was not satisfactory.
My conclusion is that I would use the A53C
for shortwave code work only where this type of
high and low attenuation is desired. For lis7 RADIO AGE
tenable audio, at least for me, I would relegate th e
A53C to the spare parts bin. I am now a convert
to capacitance coupled circuits, which by the way,
were well known in the middle 1920's as having
superior tonal range. Daven and their specially
made tubes with a gain of about 20 for each tube,
were popular.
Transformer coupling is, however, more effi cient and can sound just fine if the transformer
has enough iron in it, has many fine varnish
insulated laminations to reduc e eddy curre nts a nd
is designed to suit the circuit . In circuit d esign
the extra weight and cost of th e transformer
should be considered against an additional tube
and battery drain. Voltages in capacitance coupling can in some cases be doubled over th e rated
voltage of the tube to make up for inherent lo sses
through the resistors involved.
The horn speaker itself seems to produce thi s
bell shaped curve. Having the horn and lacking
the driver I made one using a Radio Shack long
throw (half and inch) 2 3 I 4 inch speaker in a
tightly coupled wood box with minimum sir
space . Sure enough, typical "tinny" sound . Removing the speaker from the horn, both low and
high notes came back for a balanced pleasing
musical sound even on this small a speaker.
So that is my experience. Isn't the world
interesting and diverse. (Continued on next page.)

Radio Memo irs
by Serge L. Krauss
~:i:.,~:~~,~~
IMPORTANT-PLEASE READ!
In the 30's Midwest Radios
were sold directly from the
factory to the customer. The
prices advertised usually were
for the chassis and loudspeaker
only . Although cabinets were
offered, many customers bought
the chassis and speaker to install
in an existing cabinet. The
Midwest advertising was very
impressive, some 22 tubes,
world-wide reception, powerful
performance, and a very low
price. From this sales pitch
many purchasers were disappointed with their sets and
brought them to our independent shop for repair and a
tuneup. Most of the Midwest
sets had fairly good sensitivity
when accurately aligned, but the
customer would return the set
after trying it at home .
We were accused of having
some kind of a booster that
made the sets work better in our
shop . Realigning them would
restore reasonable performance,
but again, they wouldn't perform very well at the customer's
home. I initially attributed the
problem to the customer's
messing with the trimmers and
destroying the alignment. This
created bad customer relations,
so one day I carefully aligned a
customer's set and asked to keep
it for a few days to check its
stability. I really didn't have to
keep it, for as I lifted it to move
it out of my way, I lifted one
corner of the chassis and was
able to tune through three local
stations. I found some Midwest
sets could be tuned from the 16
to the 25 meter band by lifting a
chassis corner.
The flexible chassis problem
was minimized by drilling
alignment holes in the chassis
supporting shelf and aligning
th e set bolted firmly in place.
For sets <?Pera ted in the open,
the chassis was fastened securely to a chassis size piece of
3/4 inch plywood with alignment holes. Three rubber feet
were used und er the plywood
because with four, moving the
set around on the usual uneven
surface would impair the alignment.
