Hi Thomas,
Happy New Year! Some pictures in two topics:
1.) First, a nice Zenith H511 Consoltone (MW) got a few seconds of screen time recently in the fourth episode of the third (final) season of “His Dark Materials” series:
2.) At the end of December in an old pub in Budapest (Helvecia) I ran into some more or less old radios as a part of the eclectic decoration. Since these are partly Eastern European, they may be less well known elsewhere (deep in the basement, so even if they were still functioning, not many radio signals would reach them anymore):
With best regards,
Balazs
Wow! I love those pub radios! I especially love the dial markings on the R 926 A!
Thank you for sharing these images, Balazs!
Very cool pub decor. 😉
A record store where I live has 100’s of vintage radios on shelves over the goods. You can’t see them very well here, though: https://www.facebook.com/fascinatingrhythmnanaimo/ Scroll past the panorama.
I really dig the design of that “Fantasia” radio. It has that ’80s “we’re trying to look like Star Wars props” thing down.
