JJkizak Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I have an old Motorola tube table model radio with stereo speakers in my barn that works real well. Then I remembered that my garage has an old Admiral console stereo (tubes) with a Garard changer that also still works real well. It does have a lot of car polish buffing debris on it. It will still pound out the booming bass, kind of like the "old days". I am just a "funnin" you but I still do listen to those antiques especially when I was refinishing the K-horns in the barn. Kind of like what "Odd Ball" says, "it kind of soothes your nerves". JJK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaffstone Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I've got a Halicrafters tube shortwave radio that only needed a power supply capacitor to work. I gutted the old one and put modern caps inside the can. It still looks stock, but sounds much better due to the better filter caps. There's a service tag on the power cord dated 1941. Interesting point in time to listen to SW hu? I do still listen to SW at times, but not on the old Halicrafters. Digital tuning is so much more reliable.

colterphoto1 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Last year, when I completed nearly a decade on my family farm, the Quonset Hut (machine shed) had Hot Tub, tri-amped JBL PA, pool table, entire Rock band lighting rig, fog machine, and photo studio. I really miss that place. Nothing like wide open spaces. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 yaffstone, What Hallicrafters model do you have? I have an SX-62 sitting in my barn. It needs a lot of work, which it won't get from me. There is more iron in there than most cars these days. Marvel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
