The combination H.T. supply unit and trickle charger is for owners of old type sets decidedly the best solution of the problem of A.C. mains connection, offering the ad vantage of greatly simplified opera. tion and eliminating the necessity of supervising or altering installa- tion.
Even D. C. lighting maina can be used for the receiver if an H.T. supply unit la employed which sup. plies the anode voltage required for operation,
This modernisation of your re-
ceiver not only simplifies the set, but also improves the quality of the music received, as the anode voltage of the H.T. supply units as marketed by Philips is about 150 volts; this voltage is much higher and there- fore better than that of most anode such as is bound to occur with anode batteries; moreover, loss of voltaga batteries is entirely eliminated by using H.T. supply units.
When reading the announcements of the radio industry many an "old" radio lover will become envious; they tell of up-to-date apparatus which can be operated without the bugbear of renewing and recharging batteries and accumulatora, which work at a single movement and are as simple as any other electrical ap: Therefore: the "connection to paratus for household use.
