Show pics of the inside and outside of old(antique)
radios/recordplayers/tape(wire) recorders?


A McMichael portable c.1929 (?) English, in fibreboard case but no
lightweight. Ripe for restoration. Evidence of somewhat frantic early
"repair". 2V accumulator, 90v HT, separate grid bias battery for output
triode. Moving-iron 'speaker. A bit cheap and not very cheerful. MW/LW,
two side scales have the station names, the top scale gives
wavelength/frequency. complicated dial stringing. The "volume" control
is in the cathode potentiometer network. Contemporary '30s trade
journals listed this model as "a disappointment" for this maker.
