Friends, it's Sunday night again and time to relax. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana.
Info *tonight's show will be available at the "Info" link starting tomorrow.
Official OTR blog of "The Big Broadcast" thread:
Other than searching google, no idea. Some guys here may know however...
Do you remember who used to post the tech stuff of antique radios from time to time?
Keith remembers, but he said he would have to look back in his comments to see who it was. Keith is a big antique radio head. He can fix them, and he’s learning more and more about repairing and refurbishing them. What do you want to know?
Hi Keith, good evening. Please see post 20.
Love Walter Huston!
It'll need a little touch of restoration, but it's a beaut. I'm going to put it in the living room.
Fantastic, you should have directed him to our thread.
Didn’t have the extra time to get him signed up as a Freeper - wanted to, but he wasn’t the posting type. I got him and Ed hooked up, though.
He must be loving this Walter Houston special.
Very Cool. I just acquired a Capehart Phono. Don’t forget to replace those electrolytics before you crank it up :)
This Walter Houston speech is about to make me cry.
What a country we used to be.
Probably need some kind of impedance matching transformer
Probably. He’s a HUGE Fibber McGee And Molly fan. If you could have only heard the emotion in his voice when I was showing him Ed’s past shows, it would have made your throat tighten. Boy, did it make him happy. When you can do that for a 90-ish war vet whom you only now across a digital telephone line, it makes you feel like you just done some good in this world, if even for just one person.
PM me if you get it to work - see my above posts. I’d love to be able to port these broadcasts through that thing somehow if the deal works out.........I’ve been contemplating the same thing myself.
But, WHAT a project it is!!!!
Awesome.
Good night everyone, I’m going to enjoy it’s a wonderful life on the radio. Talk to you next week.
That’s BEAUTIFUL, Viking!
