Musings of the White Lion

I've actually wanted a nice console tube type radio in restored and working order for years. I even have a special place of honor to put one. My problem is actually finding one at an AFFORDABLE price. Then when you add shipping to the equation, well I may never get a late 30's or mid 40's era radio.

 

 

I'd sure give one a good home and appreciate it, and even use it daily. For some reason those old unit's sound better.

It seems that here in Ohio at least, that the whole hipster fad has hit hard and there is zero respect for history. It must be torn down, mutilated, and turned into something trendy. That seems to include radios. I did find an auction house to sell some things through and the auction was this evening. Hopefully the consoles sold. All were postwar projects that needed more work than I had the skills to do.

Yah. I think this is just as bad as those guys putting PCs into VCS housings. Or that NESputer shit. It's never done right anyways.

 

If anything, stuff a Raspberry PI or Nano-ITX in alsongside the original hardware and feed the additional wires out the existing RF cable hole.. No cutting, just a little glue or sticky tape.
