What's going on here? Is it Halloween?
My site at A-ZNet has a Halloween theme, so why not continue it here?
This site contains mostly old radio stuff, and Jeanette's calendar pix

Here are some pictures of the National 7 inch TV from around 1949.
Here's the Emerson cardboard radio, which I completely rebuilt.
Before anyone points out that refinishing an old radio will destroy it's antique value,
I want to mention that I have listened to this radio since the mid 50's, and aside from
replacing a filter cap around 1962, it has never needed any repairs until recently, so I rebuilt
all of the bakelite block caps.
It's probably one of the
best radios I have ever owned. I can set the dial to whatever station I want, turn it on, and
it's there. With just a short piece of wire, I can get at least 60 BCB stations, and LOTS of
short wave (in spite of the fact that some people call it 'world band').
I have no intention of ever selling it, I just want it to look as well as it works.
Here are some pictures of the Philco 610.
I have several other wood-cabinet radios which I am using to hone my refinishing skills.
This National Union 5-tube radio is the first candidate. Finally got it done. It didn't come out as well as I'd hoped, bit overall very good. The clear coat doesn't cover too evenly, but the grain of the wood looks much better.
Here's an older General Electric AM/SW 6-tube radio which is next in line.
This is the only Hudson radio I have ever seen. It has also been refinished.

I have just opened another web based e-mail account because the old one has gotten hopelessly spammed.
To avoid e-mail harvesters, it's displayed as an image, so it's not clickable:
Why such a roundabout way of displaying the address? Low-life cretins scan every web page they can find, to locate e-mail addresses. What follows next is LOTS of spam.
