Samples of Classic Radios on CD-ROM

An Addison Model 5 from the Classic Radios CD-ROM. This pic is from the low-res image collection, which is "low-res" only in comparison to the higher-res versions of the same pics. On the CD, this original is a 24-bit color image, 533 x 413 pixels, 72 DPI resolution, .TIF format, 645K in size. To conserve space, I reduced the image 50% in size and saved as a high-resolution JPEG file with a compression factor of 20, resulting in a 14K file. Even after the reduction and compression, it's a mighty fine picture.

This detail of the same radio gives a better idea of the image quality. It shows one knob, part of a vertical louver bar, and some grill cloth from the radio pictured above. But it's taken from the CD's high-res collection. The original full image is 24-bit color, 2220 x 1720 pixels, 300 DPI resolution, .TIF format, and 14.9 megabytes (!) in size. The snippet you see here is 100% (no size reduction) and saved as a high-resolution JPEG file with a compression factor of 1. At this level of detail, you can count the fibers in the grill cloth!
