This is my Antique Radio Corner. Starting at the top right is
a 1960s era Lafayette HE-30 multi-band receiver. It covers
0.5-30 MHz in 4 bands. Works real good. The light colored radio
below the Lafayette is a 1940s era Packard Bell PB-88. It is AM bcst
band only, but it has a dual dial with many old extinct station call signs
on it. It is currently on the bench, to be restored soon. Next
to the Packard Bell is a real nice Cathedral radio. Too bad it is
a fake. The black box below the Packard Bell is a 1936 Breting model
14. It covers 0.5-30 MHz in 5 bands. The window is mirrored
glass, and the bezel is pewter silver. The inside is a chrome chassis,
black paint, polished aluminum, or chrome plated. It works Great.
The large black speaker on the bottom goes with it. Below the Breting
is a 1955 Collins R-390A. Myself and KA5SRB spent 3 months of lunch
hours working on this radio, and it is now working very good. It
covers 0.5-32 MHz in 33 seperate 1 MHz bands. Some would argue that
this is the best AM receiver ever made! The top left radio is an
R-174/URR receiver. It is made up of the GRR-5 receiver, a matching
power supply, and a cabinet. It covers 1.5-18 MHz in 4 bands, and
sounds good. Below the R-174 is a 1950 R-366/TRR-5. It covers
0.5-30 MHz in 5 bands, and is in perfect condition. The cabinet below
is both a speaker cabinet and a shipping box. This one is my best
sounding radio. The red carton on the bottom right shelf is full
of dog biscuits, which explains my large spotted listening companion. |
