Thread: Show me your radio

Among other things, I collect vintage radios-here is a picture of one of the nicer ones, 1937 Zenith with the big black dial.

I only have a digital radio, but that does look great. (that said a vintage stunner like you have would fit in with my decor better)

They don't make em like they used to. Aesthetically that is a real pity. Great looking radio.

My radio setup is a bit more hi-tech. It's an 4th gen iPod, plugged into a Logitech speaker dock thingie, with this accessing online radio stations via my wifi connection...

I have an old crown and it needs tubes but the writing on the tubes is gone. How do I figure out what the tubes are?

you can look up on the intrenet if you know the model name on your radio.

or walk into a old radio/tv repair guy.

maybe find some info here..
Crown Radio Corp.; Tokyo from CTV-12 to CTR-550, tube

If it works, that's really all that matters.
