I will have to post a pic of my Blaupunkt, so you can see the similarities and also see why I got so excited when I saw it!!


Does yours have Shortwave ?  .... looks like it! I can see three bands on your face plate.

There are times when I diddle the shortwave. Remember that shortwave was set aside for just amateurs to use. Then as the night goes, I fall asleep. Suddenly a caller is online from fucking Budapest or Queensland or some place in New Zealand or some shit. Once I heard a two hour long conversation from Alaska.

Yes before the internet people used shortwave to make friends internationally and provide info in emergencies. I have a friend whose father was stationed in Alaska as a Coast Guard Radio Operator during WWII who stayed there after the war. During the 1964 quake aftermath he and a bunch of other Ham operators helped direct emergency and relief efforts. The people around Leyte Philippines could probably used some about now in the isolated areas.

It has shortwave,long wave,am and fm. Radio is a long time obsession of mine and I have a ton of them, between all of them I can receive signals from 150khz to 1300Mhz. I have a couple transceivers also  but they need work and I am not a Ham so using them would cause problems.

As promised, my working tube radio from the early sixties.
I replaced all the tubes and a few caps a few years back. This baby works perfectly and it actually sounds great for a tabletop radio.

You will see the similarities.

That's an awesome Blaupunkt, DD. My granddad had one very much like it that I "repaired" when I was a kid.

 :santa: hello hello hello

I have not been around much because I been living on Lego Street!  What I mean is I have been indulging in an
unhealthy lego obsession that I usually keep to a minimum.

I have been spending too much time with the lego digital designer... some models have 20'000 bricks! What a spaz

So, I am now going to bore you with some of my photo's.















this one took hours and hours
