Jackson Bros Orgola Gang Condenser
Orgola gang condenser in tatty box, re discovered in my loft after decades.
Would I be right in thinking this is late 1920's ? Last edited by Dennis M; 18th Jul 2020 at 7:23 pm. |

Re: Jackson Bros Orgola Gang Condenser
I seem to remember that the Orgola's were Mullard designs
They were published in Radio for the Millions between 1929 and 1931 if I remember correctly. My copies are currently still in storage. An example here of an Orgola here: https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/mullard_orgola.html Cheers Mike T

Re: Jackson Bros Orgola Gang Condenser
Right about the date, I was imagining someone getting it for their home built wireless and carefully fitting it ready to receive. I wonder what the real cost was, I bet a few tens of pounds in current currency. Radio wasn't cheap then, about the same real cost as the major entertainment system today.

Re: Jackson Bros Orgola Gang Condenser
Using the Bank of England inflation calculator, 29/6 in, say, 1928 would be £93.36 in 2019.
