    Tivoli Model Two Pot Issue?

    I have had a pair of Tivoli model twos since the late 2000's now and I have loved their sound! Recently though, right about when I turn it on, when I move the volume up and down it makes a sound like there are scratchy pots. Once it's on for a little bit and it warms up, it's absolutely fine...

    Weird problem with Fisher 500 C radio

    I am in the process of restoring a Fisher 500 C. Following what seemed to be "everyone's" advice, I didn't even plug the receiver in until I had recapped it. Along the way I had to replace one of the little switches on the front - I think it was the Low Filter and after I started listening to...

    Can anybody tell me what this item is?

    I just recently came across this item and I can’t figure out what it is. On the bottom is printed August 1948. My guess is that it is a remote of some kind, perhaps for a television or radio. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Antenna for vintage Onkyo

    I have a great onkyo tx-2500 but my FM reception isn’t the best. (There’s a low power local indie station I can’t pick up, and a few stations that come through and sound good but not at high enough signal to engage the FM lock when it’s on.) The antenna hookup on the back is a twin lead binding...

    Where are people getting all these vintage radio airchecks from?

    Some sellers on eBay say they have thousands of hours of radio broadcasts on CD. Are there radio archives where you can download for free? Some have old country from the 40's. Others rock and pop from the 70's. Dr. Demento has an archive where you can stream for $2 a show. (I think.) I got a...

    Why recapping the AM and FM radios matters

    So on my 2245 that I'm getting very close to finishing now :D I got to the new LEDs ( Thanks Randy) and the front panel. I also got the AM/FM recapped and still need to cap the muting circuit. But, before the FM was washed out, weak and not very sensitive. The Stereo would light but not where...

    Proton 300 Antenna Question(s)

    Does anyone know these antenna answers about the Proton 300: a) SWITCH? Does it have a switch for external antenna (can't find one but my Sangean WR11 does but honestly performs better with internal antenna) b) GYRO: There seems to be a gyroscopic antenna attached (I think - it looks like a...

    Radio Reception

    Quick questions: Why does the radio tuner in the car parked in the driveway pick up more stations and has better signal strength than my stereo receiver which is only a few yards away? Is the antenna for the car that much better than the one paired with my stereo receiver?

    Stromburg Carlson Neon Deco Sign Late 1930,s

    Just in a new sign for my collection Sold last night at work with other light up signs and Dbl-Bubble Pepsi clocks. Will look good with 1957 SR-406 receiver Note what it says, the key words to date are" Radio-Phonographs" Post war ads would of dropped that and most would place "Television" first.
