Phil Perry Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Apparently, this was a Real advertisement in the 1950s - 60s USA. . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmccarthy Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I had one of those old sideboard sized wireless sets in my room as a teenager. A big coil to magnetise the speaker was also the ballast for the power supply, it hummed a lot. But I put up a long outside aerial and could get voice of America and a lot of Asian voices and dozens of Morse stations. The rectifier valve was a number like 30, I have forgotten, when other radios had modern valves in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was 'Hamming' about in Australia, I saw a Hallicrafters Receiver at a radio Junk fair, and found a transmitter to go with it some time later. . . But as you mentioned, I had problems finding replacement valves for Both units, although while they worked, they were quite good for old stuff.
