GUEST,.gargoyle Help: Shortwave Folk (24) RE: Help: Shortwave Folk 12 Feb 24

As a kid ... our father brought home a "Trans-Oceanic" radio that could use 110v OR battery. (Model 7G605 'Trans-ocean Clipper')1940's era.

It had a small problem. We took it to a common, drug store test station and ran all the vacuum tubes through. One was bad. The cost of that single tube was twice the price paid for the used set.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Have fun ... we sure did as kids. The commercial stations were great fun as we tried to guess the country ...Denmark, German, Dutch?
