    What's a good old antenna

    I find that most are fairly far off even with the original mica capacitors in place. A good alignment with the right equipment makes a world of difference.

    Thanks! My Jewel Pinup is painted red, as the off-white case had damage on the top from a power resistor which burned.

    You may wish to go to search Radio Museum to search by year for radios made in the years before the war. However, many people still were using radios from the 1930s. Here is the link: http://www.radiomuseum.org

    Very nice, and thanks for posting the link! I wonder if the video was made before the current economic mess, as radio prices have dropped. I definitely want one of those consoles with the wolf brass hounds in the dial escutcheon. Does anyone know the make and model?

    The Vinyl Revival

    Finally! The house painting and re-carpeting are complete after more than a month of a mess with many things in the garage and the cars left outside. I need to think about some shelves for table radios, as I don't like stacking them on consoles, and am about to have several more of them...
