Volume 8
The Broadcaster
Welcome to The Broadcaster the Schenectady Antique Radio Club news letter.
It is now the end of August which means summer is past halfway. We had a smaller turnout as far as members but the fleamarket
had some good items in it.
First there was a restored Philco 70 chassis with two cabinets. The
cabinets one could be restored even through it was complete but in pieces. The other wa only the curved top sides section.
The speaker needed some tlc. Price $65. It did not sell.
Then there was a Wards movie dial table radio. Cabinet good except
for the speaker grill work. That was in pieces but was all there so a replacement one could have been made. Chassis and speaker
looked good. Chrome plating needed cleaning up. Working condition unknown.
There were two Emerson 1950s table radios. One small white plastic
and the other dark brown bakelite. The white one sold the brown one did not. There was also a post war 40s ivoty painted bakelite
table radio which looked like a Stromberg Carlson. That one did not sell also.
Good ampunt of old books that sold including a box of ARC's which
sold for $10. Test equipment galore. Diffrent frequency counters,signal generators, some with manuals,other test gear too.
Some of it sold. Boxes of misc parts which one box was sold $10.
Zenith 808 and Philco Junior catheadral sold. Cardinal multiband
transistor portible did not sell. Neat very nice 1920s style battery regen circuit kit set which did am and sw did not sell.
Free 20' rolls of 3 conducter wire nos were taken. The last items were bought by me a nice working Channel Master transistor
with leather case and a neat mid 1860s large Philco am fm portible.
Jonathan Newman brought a very nice Radiola III with
two good WD11 tubes in it. It was super clean with all the metal pieces and parts on it that were not rusted or any age to
them. The oak case no scratches or dings with the bakelite panel that looked new too.
Lou brought his so that one f the metal levers
on Jonathans could be put back together. The nut had come off that held it together. Easy fix. Lou also had bought a small
sandblaster which if needed by other members it was avalible for use. So overall it was a good meeting. Looking forward to
September. Dave
