Just learned something that may be of interest to fellow collectors, both radio & tube. The early GR tube sockets for the UV type tubes have two screws...

I recently picked up a mid-1930's Breting 12 receiver on eBay. After replacing a fuse I brought it up on my variac. Radio played nicely, with decent...
Hello Jeff: Something else in the curuit is failing cuasing your resistor to overheat. Look for a bad cap in the same circuit as the resistor. Now the old...
Jeff, You may find this link helpful with your color code question on the "dog bone" resistors. http://www.nostalgiaair.org/References/rmacodes/reschart.htm 73...
Warning! The following reply may be offensive to some: This is common when attempting to power up an antique. Most likely a leaky plate or screen bypass cap...

Greg, You make some very good points here, and I can't find any fault in general terms. A few exceptions come to mind. For example if I have an E. H. Scott...
Thanks for the kind words Paul. And Joe, you've brought up several interesting points which present the other side of the dilemma. These radios are important...

Watch your mailboxes, I put 468 brochures for the Charlotte Conference in the mail this afternoon. If you have attended the show since 2004 you should get one....
But I used to save all the old parts replaced and keep them with the radio. If I ever chose to re-stuff caps it was possible. Hi Joe, I do essentially the same...

Hello, I bought a nice old TRF receiver at the Charlotte swapmeet last year. I could not identify which company produced it, since it was utterly without...

Hi Dave. I just wanted to thank you again for the help. I am listening this very minute to my working Anylite King Cole 7! There was a shorted bus wire of all...
Hello Gary: Hey that is great you got your KIng Cole going. Now old King Cole is a merry old soul! Gary send me a good picture when it is all cleaned up. What...
I made a nice find today. I got a call from the owner of a local antique mall Friday telling me about some radio bookends they had gotten in. She said they had...
Great find Ron. Those are unique to say the least. I doubt there are any others like it in the world, at least with that call sign on them. I guess it pays to...
W1ASZ is not listed on QRZ now, I show it in my 1929 call book as belonging to Raymond Griswold in Bridgeport Conn. Does anyone have an earlier callbook with...
Summer 1939 lists: W1ASZ Edwin Biltcliffe, Jr. 188 Hillside Ave. Pawtucket, R.I. 73, gary Gary H. Harmon, Jr. / K5JWK 6003 Archwood San Antonio, TX 78239-1504 ...
What a slick find! Here're some data points on the callsign in addition to previous reports. 1925: (plain 1ASZ) - New Hampshire College Radio Club, Durham,...
Thanks to Carl and my friend Lud Sibley I know a lot more about W1ASZ than I did before. I've updated the web page, check it out if you're interested, ...
GM Ron, Thanks for sharing a most interesting find! And to Carl and Lub for filling in the details, quite a fascinating story from a set of bookends! ...
It seems odd but I have an IDENTICAL pair that say WNEW on them. This of course was a favorite New York City Radio Station until a few years ago.--- In...
HI Merrill, I don't think it's odd, some company was making them for anyone that wanted them. Just send them your call sign. Someone else has one with NBC on...
My Theory is, some company made them for customers (WE) and had the station call letters put on. Since I think I remember one W1ASZ worked for a radio...
