35 years ago
May 1st, 2005, 35 years ago today I bought my first "antique" radio.
I've created a little web page to tell the story. http://radioheaven.homestead.com/35years.html 73, Ron Ron Lawrence, kc4yoy (Curmudgeon in training) POBox 3015 Matthews, NC 28106-3015 704-289-1166 (home) kc4yoy(at)carolina.rr.com Radio Collection Web Page, http://www.radioheaven.homestead.com |

That's a cabinet built by Connor or Conner not sure which. The radio is a AK model 36 which was their first AC powered set. The separate power supply is in the lower cabinet behind the model E speaker. Ron |

John, there's one like it except in a pooley cabinet listed on the bay now. It has a model AK 33 which is the battery model that was used to make the model 36 AC set. It's a neat looking radio with the big E speaker sticking through the front. Ron |

Monser. Mr. Monser has since passed away, and I already have his UHF follow-up article g. beat w9gb |

That was about the time I was putting the 17th coat of spar varnish on my first RCA console to hide the splitting veneer.  -Bill |

It always seems that there is someone who passes the antique radio bug
on to the next person. For me it was about 12 years ago, someone I know gave me a small tube tester, a westinghouse console radio, and a little advice. Since then, I have aquired several more radios, and although I still have a lot to learn, it has been a tonne of fun!!! Gonna have to buy my own house soon though.... with all the hobbies in this house, there is no more room for me anymore. Shawn K www.thisoldradio.com |
