I dont live too far away, i dont know if you can suggest something,but i have this idea about old radios...i did ww2 reenactment and the barracks events could really use period cabinet radios for atmosphere!!! The german Volksemphanger radio cabinet is bakelite, it could be reproduced and a blue tooth speaker installed inside for period sound..... someone could make a fortune off this idea....all reenactors would want one!!! Im eager to hear your reactions to this idea...thanks

Good idea! I bet someone adept at 3-D printing plastic could do that. I guess you would need a scan of that radio first. Not my expertise,but sounds interesting. Take care, WG7D

I have the exact same model. But with the Eagle mural. This RV has really been a pleasure to own. And my ceiling bed still works great. Originally $149,000 new. My only advice is that I drive mine (automatic transmission) like a motorcycle stick shift to keep the engine revs high. See you at the beachfront.

44:12 reminds me of the old blues song "Somebody Loan Me a Dime/ I need to call my old-time used to be.....". "Dropping a dime" on someone later morphed into "here's a quarter ---- call someone who cares".

At 38:52 , the Not-sees had their own state radio station and only broadcast state-approved content (propaganda); but now we have two giant corporations, Sinclair and ClearChannel, controlling TV and Radio content over vast swaths of America, broadcasting misinformation and spreading fear and distrust. You can change the channel, but in many areas the content is pretty much the same regardless of the station disseminatng it.

At 25:40, galena is lead sulfide, which sometimes occurs in metallic-looking clusters of brittle, square-ish crystals that are electrical semi-conductors (diodes) and therefore useful as radio-frequency "detectors"; the chunk of leadbearing stone shown here is a poor representation of galena ore. Galena can easily be smelted into lead simply by heating it and was therefore extremely important to early civilizations. Some Galena deposits also contain up to 1/2 percent silver.

Don't take everything to the bank the docent, Skip, said about motion pictures. The second carbon-arc lamp was NOT hand-fed. It was a motor-driven axial arc lamp as perfected by Harry H. Strong of the Strong Electric Corporation in Toledo, OH. If a guide is there to teach history, you need to make sure his comments are factual. I know because I ran the damn things as an IATSE projectionist 50 years ago.

This place was the source of so many transmitters parts and other bits that put so many pirates on the air back in the days before EBay ! Getting tubes was always hard but these people had them all ! The legendary Allen Wiener mentioned them many times in his biography.

I was always fascinated by their printed catalogs back in the 70/80:s...But the oldtime ham equipment, DIY & very few, very big (surplus) parts, which did a lot, i can imagine not many is into that anymore... But certainly you can still find projects in old ARRL handbooks & such... (I remember you could even order surplus Tommy guns... But not from Sweden... DEFENITELY not from Sweden...)

Their are several surplus places in Portland area. The on he is talking about is wacky Willie's surplus. Then we had R5D3, Cascade electronics, surplus gizmo's.

My first scope came from Fair Radio Sales, as did the huge stepper motors driving my Bridgeport. Two more great places are Glenn's Surplus in Shelby OH, and JDM surplus in Crestline OH. JDM used to be called CTR.
