hello from germany.

I am a restorer of old glowing radio equipment and not interested in cold receivers.

greetings, and keep always warm your table :p

Hi Martin! :D

Welcome to the forum!

I see that you like valve (tube) radios. I agree with you, valved radios do have a warmth about them, so might say they are radios with 'soul'.

I've built a number of valved sets over the years, one I remember in particular was a UHF transmitter that exploded when I shorted out the HT line to the grid of one of the valves!

The flash from the explosion was so bright that I could not see for about twenty minutes, and for nearly three days afterwards I could see a light green area in the middle of my field of vision (I won't make that mistake again!).

Valves (tubes) may look warm and friendly, but they CAN bite too :giggle:


73, Mark.
 
Howdy Martin: Glad to have you on board. I know absolutely nothing about restoring old radios, so I'll leave that to you and Mark. How about showing us a couple of those in the Gallery? :D
