#11,indeed a good AA5 can pull in distant stations quite well :) Have not put my more recent find AA5s or 4 tube Meteor to proper DX tests. I have a Philco HIFI phono similar to the one Matt posted awaiting repair: made in 1954 and decent size amp.

neither does my 1980 GE top freezer ( i have replaced both fans about 15 years ago-when they got noisy). Years ago had a family reunion and ran a couple spare fridges in the yard in direct sunlight : one a 2013 model the other an old 1977 WCI Kelvinator-the Kelvinator with about 1/4 hp...

I have one like top right and like the clock radio middle shelf,and one similar if not same as big radio middle shelf :series string AMFM Japanese from about 1963

...Canadian made also -thread for "foreign"radios coming later :) Guy at work has recently gotten interested in old tube radios-especially 1930s era.He bought a mid-1930s GE in working order that someone recapped and checked the tubes: in under picks of the recapped chassis,looked like all the...

came across a video of a McIntosh 4100 under repair and it looked delightfully "old skool" inside and out-nice big transformer and filter caps and transistor heat sinks,could not count how many output transistors there was. I think the subject 4100 was from 1983.

The Bose i am most familiar with besides the 901,is the Delco-Bose stereos in certain GM cars starting in 1983: special low level output head unit outputting to amplified speaker modules-the amp in these modules especially prone to bad capacitors, probably too much heat buildup in that plastic...

I thought bose had degraded to a "BPC" brand some time ago... but this notion could be wrong? Last i knew, McIntosh was still at least assembled in USA and premium stuff worthy of analog source.I almost bought a McIntosh receiver about 1992 at a stereo store table sale: noticed the transformer...

Common for the flume to plug with a lint dam-snatches on the lid switch shaft and builds up.

working on this will be like working on an off-brand 1920s car: no new parts,crumbling rubber parts,congealed up grease, etc. On the plus side,heavy iron parts and no plastic.... Motor,if original, probably is a GE wound rotor slip ring type type.Probably will need a...

yes it is,early 1990s era.

Just the fan-standard 14 watt Rotron "muffin"-i have bunch,could send you one if needed-also all over on Ebay. These 3-blade fans have a distinctive sound.

Cool,i watched the movie when it came out in '85. now i might just watch it tonite on VHS-too bad the home video version is edited a little from original theater version...I have no "Thunder road" parts except a couple spotlights that might be right and the little Rotron fan on the craft's...

years ago someone was on here looking for those same doors... now you just need to find the right tilt-a-whirl,TV surround,a couple automotive spotlights...

Very cool-I would buy that at first sight for $150 :)

I haven't looked at a Consumer reports since about 1987-back in the mid-'80s they just loved any Japanese imports: did not matter if it was cars,desk fans,hand mixers,what ever-Japanese brand they loved it...

I think the fan with 5 straight blades is larger diameter and larger motor-i think i have only seen this fan on '85-later 2.8 . The 7 curved blades style i have seen on 2.5 and 2.8. The 4.3 diesel (82-85) had a big 16.5" 7 straight blades with a very big motor-about the most powerful electric...

Pictured mower is the one i had :) I knew it was made in 1979 because it either had the date code branded into a random spot on the plastic cover or the switch was dated. I that mower is yours,congrats :)

Cool Nova in reply 11 :) my Nova was a green 4 dr sedan-2 barrel 350,th350,2.56 rear gears had AC and era correct underdash Kraco 8-track to supplement the AM radio. Had manual drum brakes,but i think power disc was optional. These '68-74 and '75-79 Novas were great cars in most regards.

I had a twin blade Black&Decker for a short time-mower was just about shot and was found left behind in a house we had got-Orange painted cast aluminum,two blades driven by a couple cog belts.mower was at end of road when blade either came off or belts would not stay on -junked the mower and i...

A friend has a '73 convertible he is fixing up-floorpan has fatigue cracks from the body flexing-must be a few miles on it. 71-3 longer and much heavier than 64.5-66 version-do not know if those early ones flex as much.The subject '73 convert has a simple little 302 2v/ 3spd stick for reliable...
