Title

Antique tube radios and test equipment from the 1930's to 50's

Pictures and information. Restoration examples and technical notes.

This site started out as a few pages on old tube radios a couple of years ago, but I've now started over again. I hope to have here something of interest, and hopefully I can think of some things which I have not been able to find elswhere on the web. I've not thought of much new yet, though, so I am going back through my notes to see if I can find any tricky problems I've had to solve.

At the moment there are pictures and notes on some typical old radios and test equipment, mainly from the 40's and 50's. I have a lot more to add when I find the time, including restoration of fm receivers, and tube test equipment. Please do look around, and visit again.

These pages are all written in basic HTML, as you can probably tell! Nothing fancy. I would be pleased to hear from you if you have any comments, or if the pages do not display properly in your browser.
