Erik Mandaville Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Thought you all might like to see one of the ancestors of the Klipsch horns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Mandaville Posted July 27, 2003 Author Share Posted July 27, 2003 New horns (and ouch, bright light!) with La Scalas and Lowthers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Robinson Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Beautiful ... and nice deco too! What is it? Looks like an old RCA ("His Master's Voice"), missing only the dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Mandaville Posted July 27, 2003 Author Share Posted July 27, 2003 Your're right! It's an RCA Radiola -- a scratchy sounding thing...but still works! This little setup is one of my prized possessions. I built a battery eliminator for it, which is not shown in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Two things I have always coveted (but not yet acquired) an Atwater Kent "breadboard" radio and a Grebe Synchrophase. Someday.... Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Tony I know where you can possibly pick up a 1925 Grebe Synchophase cheaply. It is non-functional but I believe repairable and the cabinet is rough but restorable. Shoot me an email if you are interested. My email is lmarshall703@shaw.ca . Bear in mind that I cannot guarantee that the works are repairable. Erik the pic of the Radiola doesn't show for me could you repost it or send me a pic at the above email ? I love looking at those old beauties! I still shudder at the thought of how many old A-K's etc that I tore apart as a youngster. What then seemed like a quest for knowledge in retrospect amounts to unknowing vandalism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Mandaville Posted July 27, 2003 Author Share Posted July 27, 2003 Those AK breadboards are incredible! I would LOVE to have one, but they usually sell for much more than I can afford. Lynnm: Ummmmm...I don't know how to send a picture with email. I guess it's just light sending a Word document (?) ....sheesh, this is embarrass!ing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Erik Send me an email with the name of your email proggie and I send instructions about how to attach a picture file or insert a picture into the message body. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovebolt6 Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I often have trouble seeing the pictures that are in the very first post of any thread. Erik, I bet if you re-posted the picture now everyone could see it. I also love those old radios. I enjoy listening to baseball games on them. I know, I'm quirky.

leok Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Erik, I didn't see the Radiola, but I did see your new amps. Very nice work. It takes 100 hours or so for those things to settle-down. They should be real sweet in a few months. Speakers look good too. Quite a spread in technology: 1-way (is that rear horn-loaded or something else?) and 3-way all front horn-loaded. leok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Hmmm. The Lowther attachement was there, but I'm not seeing the old RCA. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I thought I was going crazy I couldn't see it and others were commenting on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Bey Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 yep, it's not there. Not even in the source. I think everyone else was just hallubinating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I saw nothing...hoped an edit would fix the lack of photo... lynn, don´t tempt me! my wife would kill me if she saw another piece of audio equipment enter the house! I think my antique radio days will start after some time has passed and wife calms down about my "hobby" (she calls it an obsession)...regards, tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
