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.

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? |

Re: Photos of our "stashes"?
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:

Re: Photos of our "stashes"?
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.

Re: Photos of our "stashes"?
I always thought those "Minuets" were cute.
https://www.vintage-radio.net/joshwa...-%20Minuet.jpg 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. |

Re: Photos of our "stashes"?
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.

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. |

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. Last edited by stephanie; 7th Apr 2006 at 5:14 pm. |

Pictures of our Collections
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) |

Re: Pictures of our Collections
Nice pictures Dave! Unusual to see the "knee hole " telephone - do you have the under desk dial to match?
