Its 1939!

I think this things sounds better the more it has been used and warmed up and the speaker regains some flexibility....



Half expecting to hear a newsman break in "This from Pearl Harbor, US Territory Hawaii, The Japs have just bombed the US Naval Base. Repeat the Japs have bombed the US Navy. The United States is at war!"

@buffalowinter this ones for you.....

Wait for it.....



Poor Barry.....certainly lived a life of excitement. His Casca book were dogged eared getting passed around the barracks in 3/8 circa 1986-87.

I have a 40s Motorola. Years ago we had a local oldies station that only played music from 30s - 50s, and that was one of the few channels it received well. My daughter came into my shop one day and asked if it played anything else. I told her no, the old tubes could only receive old music. She was absolutely convinced that was true. Sad part? She was 17 at the time. :)

My 41 Dickerson. The Hadley company found the old specs and rewound the original output transformer for me.

Surrounded Army troops on Bataan get what news they could via the same model Hallicrafter

@gayguns found one and sent it to me after we exchanged solids (not homo, but that was by his choice)

I told my daughter so many times that she was having a blonde moment that she now catches when she does it. She will say "I was having a blonde moment" or "I was about to have a blonde moment"
