First topic message reminder :

Hi folks,
I'm David, I live in Canberra, Down Under, and confess a love of valve gear.
Specifically guitar amps, and have joined the site to further my slowly growing knowledge..
I'm also on a steep learning curve for valve testers - just gained a Jackson 637 and am trying to learn about it and am planning to service it B4 testing my growing collection of valves..
I don't know a whole lot about radio's per se, but pls don't hold that against me..LOL
I'll chime in probably infrequently, but have bookmarked the site and will call back regularly.
Cheers, David

Hi my name is Frank. I am semi new to radio and radio repairs. I remember as a kid my parents and grand parents listen to the radio, especially my mother brother he loved to following the St Louis Cardinals on the radio. Since I have retired I though it would be good to get involved in another hobby. My main hobby is Metal detecting and have been doing that for about 22+ years.

Browsed here a few times but figured I better join. Started collecting radios when I was a kid but am mostly interested in vintage test equipment and it's history now and puttering around on my workbench.

I would suspect the switches first thing, I have noticed the same thing using my scope, but haven't delved into it yet. Most were used by schools so wear and tear maybe the culprit. Try using some Cramolin on the switches. And also the connectors. If they were worked on by students then solder connections and broken or intermittents would be suspicious.

Welcome to our Forum. I do have some of the manuals that I bought from ECI, yes they are still in business and will sell them to you if needed. I haven't looked at mine in quite some time, AH well another project for my list.

Let us know what you decide to do by posting it in our test equipment section.

If your asking me I decided on a Samsung printer. Sorry if I didn't mention it. I have set it up for wireless and its slow responding but once it starts printing its 20 pages per minute.

Greetings,

I came into this world on February 9, 1943 (age 70), with the name of Michael Sitton (Mike), nick name of Fuzzy since I sport a rather fuzzy beard. Have been for about 35 years! OK, my user name is sitn, a contraction of my sir name. I presently reside in the beautiful state of Magnolia trees, pine, and others of note, which happens to be Mississippi. A few miles from the great metropolitan area of Osyka. (only a few hundred, if that many) folks, on the state line of Louisiana. The nearest town of any size is Progress, which consist of a couple of houses, library (my wife is the librarian), and a fire volunteer station. I live in a relatively new house of 13 years old across the lane of my grandparents home which is over 100 years of age. I have another place of about 50 acres 10 miles away outside of Tylertown, Mississippi. I am retired but have a small machine shop on that property.

As I said, I am retired, or retarded as some put it, from the broadcast tube rebuilding industry. I had worked in all aspects of the company including running the in plant machine shop. I built and maintained most of the equipment that was used in the plant. My uncle W. T. (Bill) Freeland started the business in 1940, and built tubes for one of the major broadcasting company's during world war II for our government.

My interest in radio stems back into the 1950's as a snotty nosed kid, in Cisco, Texas. Have worked in a TV shop there as well as in the printing industry, of which my father and his brother owned for several years. As of late, I have been taking the radio collecting and restoration hobby more seriously. Of course, there are a lot of aspects to this that I am finding more challenging than I had ever thought of. There are the ones who like to leave there old radios looking as they find them and those who like to spend untold amounts of money on them. I kind of like the in-between part. Make them look decent and work well. I am not a purist when it comes to making something look better than new. All my life has been devoted to get the thing working so the job at hand can go on, and there will be no idle folks standing around. One of my other hobbies for years has been firearms. I am no expert there either. The latest hobby I can boast of, is my unfinished 1930 Ford Model A five window coupe. Need to finish the interior and rumble seat for it to be entered into the local parades and so on.

I guess you have been bored enough now, so I will refrain from any more banter and get down to business of old radio's of antiquity.

Hi all, I'm a new member, and so I thought I'd share something. I'm an amateur radio operator, not too active with the sun spot cycle the way it's been lately...Been playing around with radio since the age of 10, and my first was an old Bendix table top AA5 with clock/timer and outlet. Learned really fast about inductive rf coupling when I convinced a friend to shinny up a 110 foot tall white pine and hang my very first long wire antenna...think I must have been about 11 then. That was 44 years ago! Anyway, with a bit of wire and a loop, and placing it near the ole Bendix loop on the rear, RADIO CAME TO LIFE! I began logging stations with thumbtacks on a map of the USA..then I was getting Bonair at 800 on the dial...and wondered just how far away I could recieve AM stations! My Uncle Dwight, WB8WAJ (SK) pushed me into Ham Radio, and by the time I was 16, finally had my Novice license. After building some Heathkits, and experimenting with more antennas, I decided that electronics would be my career, which it has been, for 30 plus years. I have a love for German table sets, from the late 50's and also some old odd balls, like the Teledials, and the wonderful RCA 816K! The "Magic Brain" motorized tuning systems of the day were quite amazing.
I still love tinkering with electronics, some programming, and other odds and ends. Dipped into some FM Dxing too. Loads of fun!
Like I said about this site, "Nice place to be!"

Hi, I am interested in vintage radios from the 40's to the early 60's. I have restored several sets in the past few months that I have enjoyed this hobby. I'm 69 years old and work in the Slot Machine industry in Deadwood, SD. I have a 10 year old daughter who is keeping me healthy and young. I find that there is always something new to learn. I collect vintage cameras and started this radio hobby when a co-worker asked me to fix a GE model 125 for her mom. Then another lady brought in a classic Coca Cola cooler radio, (Majestic), for me to get working. Then I was off to the races looking on etsy, ebay and yard sales for new stuff to solder on. The only parts problems I have run into are IF transformers and the little flat R/C networks with the 3 to 10 leads that are often broken. If I knew what was inside I could make a sub with "REAL" parts. I'll be looking on this forum for answers to my many questions that these classic instruments bring up.
Thanks, Stevehyman

Hi Everyone,

I am from New Kensington which is near Pittsburgh PA. I have been interested in radio all my life. I used to tinker with tube radios when I was a kid in the 60's. Now that I am older I am getting back into collecting and repairing old radios. My collector interest in Westinghouse radios and radios with the Conelrad (CD) markings both tube and transistor. Just setting up my workbench now. I look forward to participating in the forum. Thanks

There was an Employee in our Shop that came in and acquired a lot of Equipment for the Mars station and installed it in a 5th floor storage area, but I never got involved with the installation. It was separate from our Shops Ship to Shore installation. Our S to S Call was Aquit 6

As For the Mars station we had racks of new equipment, the only thing about it I remember was a lot of Collins radios. Our Shop was on the 4th and 5th floors of the old Machine Shop. It was corrugated Metal, painted BLACK and during the summers it was extremely Hot inside the building. This is just about the same time that Ships and Carriers were being refitted with Air conditioning. Some of the radio rooms on ships were unbearably Hot during summer.
I couldn't spend all my time in the station so we set up a remote Speaker with a push to talk hand set for operation from my work bench. Then scurry into the station to do relays and frequency checks, phone patches etc. Teletype messages and such. That's where I learned how to operate a radio station and all the ropes of proto call.

Most of the time we operated on sideband for traffic. Some local UHF. We had a sister station in Seal Beach that Also ran a Radar Station for tests, and I went there about once every two weeks.
