The Reception Set R-107 is a British WW-II receiver, covering the HF spectrum from 1.2 to 17.5 MHz in three frequency ranges:

Range 1. 17.5 - 7.0 MHz
Range 2. 7.25 - 2.9 MHz
Range 3. 3.0 - 1.2 MHz

Sensitivity is 1 uV in CW and 2 to 6 uV in AM (30% mod at 400 Hz) at S/N ratio of 20 dB.

IF selectivity: 'Narrow': 3 KHz at -6dB, slope of 15dB/kHz
'Wide' : 7.5 KHz at -6dB, slope of 12dB/kHz

IF frequency: 465 kHz

Audio filter: passband 300 Hz wide at center frequency of ~900 Hz.

The receiver can be operated with AC, 100 to 250 VAC (power consumption is 31 W) or from a 12 VDC battery (built-in vibrator supply) at 3 A. AC/DC switching is in the power supply section inside the receiver, as well as multiple AC voltage taps.

In these pages, I will show the restoration process of my R-107 receiver. This is a 'live page', as I am going to update it regularly as I progress with the restoration. I would like to hear from anybody who has a similar set, as the one I have is needing lots of work. Thanks!.
