1930's Self Broadcaster
This is a bit of period fun and came in a box of other early radio bits from a local auction.
It is a microphone on a long wire designed to be used with 1930 2V sets and has a B4/B5 'socket' that fits between the valve and its socket and connects the mic between the grid and filament. |

Re: 1930's Self Broadcaster
It's astonishing what survives - and equally astonishing to realise how much must have been lost and forgotten. If this hadn't survived, would you have ever thought of it ever existing?

Re: 1930's Self Broadcaster
I bet that was a memorable birthday present for some fortunate child!
I wouldn’t be surprised if the original owner kept it until they went to a better place, hence its appearance at auction. |
