Am very pleased to have found this group, thanks for having me. My first old radio was new in 1974 when I bought it - a Hacker Super Sovereign, I was offered a job in Italy so bought it for the short wave capability. It still works like a dream.
Next up, I bought three Bakelite radios, all works of art. A Garod, a Bendix and a General Electric, the latter is particularly beautiful. Then I bought a large crystal set from a guy in the States, it has an industrial look with dials that wouldn't look out of place on an old oven. The headphones are dated 1919.
That's it, except I've just bought a Hacker Hunter RP38A which is in pristine condition. We live in a poor reception area so any advice on improving the sound would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for listening.
