Truly Great Radio
I've got a 1958 I used quite a bit for casual MW , but I had to
quit using it cuz a cap was fixin to flake out. It sits here under the table. I've also has a earlier 50-52?? model that was even better, as it's loop antenna was better. It had a rotary sort of dial vs the 58's sliderule type of dial. I've got an old 1948 RCA console with MW/SW and a victrola record changer. It's got a 2x6v6 PA , and a 12 inch speaker. Needs a new OPT though. It's got a big loop antenna on the back. In theory, it should be the manliest of my old MW radios. But I haven't tried it yet, as I'm too lazy to order the output tranny...The radio, etc, all lights up and works otherwise. These dayz, my usual MW radio is the IC-706mk2g, with the big diamond loop here in the room. "44 inches per side". It's quite good. Better than the old radios to be honest when you consider the readout, etc...But I like the tube audio of the old radios for casual listening. MK |
