... Talk about the
Madison,,,I have seen a trend toward physically bigger radios
again,,especially base stations, but even the drivers are getting
Lincolns and bigger mobiles.
Over this side of the pond, the Jumbos were

quite a cult radio. I think that the attraction

may have been the diagram on the top,

handles on the sides, and the size of the thing.
It was so big, it just had to be powerful :~)




Funny how times change. Remember when the telly was huge and like a
piece of furniture,,,then the seventies and eighties gave way to
micro-sized tv's, now the trend is back to as big as one can afford with
HDTV and plasma sets.


For such a big radio, with SSB, the PSU

seemed pretty poor. I remember the early

ones having terrible FM audio, you could tell

people who were using them or the early

Multimodes. They may as well have shouted

out on all the channels, "I use an illegal CB,

and I vote"... or something like that.

The handles on the side were so it was easier to carry it to the
repairman g
