I'll see your TR82B,C and D, and raise you an equally turquoise TR82C along with an MB60 and the better of my TR82DLs!

I recently realised that I have a three-figure quantity of sets here, one of these days I'll get a photo of some of the nice ones uploaded.

My MB60 isnt anywhere near ready for a photo shoot and still missing a DL and a VTR103

Nice pic tho

To Josh:

Well, I just saw your pictures. So now, tell me. Are you the reason why so many cars I see around have no brand-name badges on the bodywork?

JoshWard · 7th Apr 2006, 10:09 am

Errrrrrmmmmmmm......

! No I can assure you I buy them at autojumbles, all the ones in front of the Fenman 2 came off various Morris Marina's.

Photos of Josh's stash are here https://www.vintage-radio.net/joshward/

What we need though Josh is a couple of more distant shows showing the whole displays!

JoshWard · 7th Apr 2006, 3:02 pm

I'll get the cam out....

GJR 11L · 7th Apr 2006, 3:40 pm

A fine collection Josh, and I see that you're selling some of them in another thread. Always a good plan to keep the numbers sensible.

Says the chap who has just found three Hacker Heralds I'd forgotten I owned!

More of the promised pics, though what I really need is a room for the whole lot of 'em:

JoshWard · 7th Apr 2006, 3:43 pm

I like that massive thing in the1st pic. I presume its an 'Orion'. Josh.

P.S. Also like the Roberts'

JoshWard · 7th Apr 2006, 3:44 pm

I've just realised some of my radios aren't in the pics. Never mind they'll be on shown when I take some of the whole room....... People of a nervous disposition should look away.

stephanie · 7th Apr 2006, 4:02 pm

I always thought those "Minuets" were cute.

Can you tell I'm a sucker for cheep-n-cheerful plastic radios?

Over the past few years, I've also started to rotate out my collection - mostly by giving away surplus radios at swap meets, since I don't have the energy or dedication to wanting to sell them. Some are not even worth selling.

I just donate them to the organizing club and they auction them off at the end of the meet.

JoshWard · 7th Apr 2006, 4:07 pm

It took a long time but I found one! I got it for a fiver at the local antiques centre. It worked but with significant mains hum (main electrolytic) I then decided to clean out the wave-change switch and now it doesn't work!

It is also missing its EL84 (stolen for another radio). Josh.

Don't want to make it off topic, but anyway:

Hmm...what did you use to clean it out? Make sure you haven't bent any contacts. Usually just a small squirt of pot-cleaner spray (Caig De-Oxit) is enough to do the trick. Then work the switch back and forth.

Be careful with that cleaner, though....you don't want to oversaturate the phenolic wafers in there either.

Should make a new thread on one of the more appropriate sections of the board.

The whole room photos are now on the same page https://www.vintage-radio.net/joshward/ in a separate group at the bottom.

JoshWard · 7th Apr 2006, 4:36 pm

The last 2 are in the workshop!

Ta Josh, yep, that's an Orion AR612 and that RT7 is the best Roberts ever. It's so good that I simply haven't got round to doing the cosmetics yet!
FM? Who needs it?

Looking at some of those whole-room pictures of Josh's, makes me remember what my old room used to look like. My mom and I built some shelves like that in her council flat.

On the edges of the shelves (that covered an entire wall and over the door) I had stapled a string of Christmas tree fairy-lights, which I would plug into the light-fitting on the wall. Looked awesome in the dark.

In order to bring some light into the room, I ran a flex (plugged into the wall sconce also) and ran it to a workshop "clamp-light" -- essentially a tin funnel with a lampholder and a metal spring clamp -- and stuck that on the edge of another shelf that then came down and turned into my desk/workbench where my big Brazilian office typewriter sat. That's where I pounded out all my Uni papers and articles for the school's newspaper.

A year or so after I vacated the premises she tore the shelves out and used the lumber for something else. Don't know what happened to the fairy-lights, not that I cared anyway.

Some time ago there was a thread in which forum members displayed photographs of their collections. I have not been able to find it now that I finally have my photographs, so I have started a new thread. If the moderators wish to move this to the existing thread, that's fine.

The first three pictures are my computer collection:

Amstrad PCW8512
BBC micro "B"
Amstrad PC1640
CD drive / acoustic modem & 746 telephone
Amstrad PcW 10
Amstrad PCW8256

Macintosh Plus
Macintosh Colour Classic
TV tennis game
IBM PC/XT
Commodore CBM 88032

Amstrad CPC464
Atari 520ST

Picture 4 (telephones):

back: 232 / 246 / 332
middle: 706 / 746 / 764 / 782
front: 9003 / 90?? / 9101

Picture 5: two Set "F" field telephones (MK 1* & MK II respectively)

jim_beacon · 3rd Oct 2006, 6:47 pm

Nice pictures Dave! Unusual to see the "knee hole " telephone - do you have the under desk dial to match?

Jim.
