Tube Radio Forum

Post by Sir Henry » Thu Nov 03, 2016 12:34 pm

I joined a tube radio forum and sure feel like an idiot. I know very little about them and when I ask a question I get referred to past posts. It really makes me think how great it is that we have forums where we can go and learn from others with more experience.

The forum doesn't allow posting pictures directly to the forum like we do here. So they will miss out on my pictures.

I found this radio cheap. Yes I paid $35 plus tax for it and it works perfect.

Nope just a lot of Bob Dylan and some Stones.

I'm just a beginner. Might have to pick your brain sometime.

I don't have any tube radios, but I have my Fender Super Reverb amp I bought in '75. The choice of tubes that amp will use is a science upon itself.

Sure, just shoot me an email or a PM. Not sure if there is a post limit until you can PM. If so, I'll get there eventually. :D

I am a ham radio operator and have made most of my living in the commercial 2 way radio repair business. I also have my General Radio Telephone Operators license.

I like how this old technology is being discussed on the relatively new technology of internet forums.

Calguns.net and a few of the other forums I belong to are the same way. Ask a question, get a snarky response directing you to obscure threads I'm not sure I ever could have found by searching. Oh well.
