Subject: RE: BS: 1940's Wireless Sets
Ah, Hilversum of Holland, home of Phillips radios. Dad finally bought one of their radiograms in the 60's, when he couldn't get valves for the Gulbransen.
Both our old radios had NZ station names listed on the MW dials. Guess they were customised for export here. The exotic places on the Atwater Kent SW band were fantastic. It's amazing how many I managed to hear fromhalf a world away. Hmm... must hook up a decent aerial and earth sometime.
