Think analog TV is dead? Not in this house! Our latest article
describes how I set up a home TV transmitter
to broadcast analog television throughout our house. Related articles
this month describe my Panasonic Travelvision,
Sony Watchman, and
TV field strength meter.
Our newest major item is an exciting find: a
Zenith 12-A-58 console,
which some folks call the "Baby Stratosphere."
Another unusual radio is the 1936 Philco 444,
or English "People's set."
Sometimes good things come in twos. No sooner had I finished
the RCA CTC-11,
my first color TV restoration, when I ran across a second
one (CTC-11A). Also
in progress are the RCA T-100
and DuMont RA-103.
Don't miss the Literature area,
where we just added Radio Craft articles from
1935 and
1936 and
a 1936 piece on a modified Theremin known as the
Terpsitone. Also new are
several Short Wave Craft issues from 1933-1937
and two 1954 QST magazines.
Recent restorations include a
1946 RCA 630TS television,
Midwest DD-18 Art Deco console radio,
1948 National TV-7W television,
and the mammoth Scott TV/radio/phono console.
Other newcomers to the gallery include
a 1957 Motorola 66T1 transistor,
a 1948 Pilot TV-37 television,
a Precision 10-12 tube tester,
a 1948 Hallicrafters T-54 TV,
some Miniature Radio/TV Replicas,
and two German propaganda radios: a Kleinempfänger
DKE 38 and a Volksempfänger
VE 301 Dyn from 1938.
If you're looking for a few more highlights, check these out:
a 1941 Trophy Baseball radio,
a rare Emerson "Snow White" Disney figural radio,
a FADA 1000 Catalin jewel,
and a red Tesla 308U Talisman.
Stay tuned!
