Just had a great wash in with our Canadian Brothers

[jetcone]

with the  Canadians ! We did poppy 1-18 laundry and 1955 Ge combo laundry and 1956 Bendix laundry. 

Repaired my 1948 Oster blender and took them to Kelly's for a lobster roll.

 

Somebody got a vintage Radarange who shall remain anonymous for now. It weighs a ton and runs on 990V DC  !

Somebody else got a MINT vintage KA 14 portable .

 

And Phil won a turntable at my raffle!!

Paul

Paul looks like he's leading a very short rumba train.

Paul was high

on Chemex coffee

 

[jetcone]

Phil will be posting a video he took

that shows proof positive at just how quiet Poppy has become !

 

 

 

[yogitunes]

glad you guys had a wonderful time despite weather conditions.....thanks for sharing...

not sure which I love more, the dishwasher, or the Marantz turntable...

 

[swestoyz]

That's an easy choice Martin. You can take the KA, and I'll snag the 6300.

 

[cadman]

While you two are fighting over the Marantz, I think I'll go for that two-ton electronic oven!

 

[jetcone]

Holla!

We have gaps here !

 

[combo52]

RadarRange

We want to see more pictures of the RR and hear more about it in general.

 

[gansky1]

What a fun visit, with awesome parting gifts.  And to think I wasted $2 on a Powerball when there's a raffle with much better odds in Melrose.  

 

 

Yes, give us some story on the Radarange, Cory!

 

[electron1100]

WANT IT STAMP STAMP STAMP

wow freezing cold and you guys are out there having fun, I have to say despite the beautiful machines and food the Marantz would get my vote, I love 70s hi-fi

OH

there's still some surprises for Ben & Cory when they get here to take home "Two Ton Tessie"!

 

She's unusually clean inside >>>> Look at the size of those components under her skirt !!

Thermal cut offs on the cooling circuit!! Dual stacked water cooled transformers under that HIGH VOLTAGE label weighing in at 1 ton each.

Its really cool to see the inside of the Microwave oven.  You don't see hearty components like that anymore.  I didn't see anything that looked frayed  like I would expect to see in a machine that age.

 

[cadman]

Looks like the cat is out of the bag! : )

I can't thank Jon, Phil and Paul enough for snagging this Radarange for me. While not exactly in Jon's backyard, it was a heckuva lot closer than Iowa!

This machine is pre-Amana acquisition and is a commercial model Mark V. From what I can tell it's dual magnetron but lacks a broiler element. It's also the first one I've ever seen that has an original looking painted front; most were stainless. The guys found a date code of Jan 1963 and this would use Raytheon's new QK707 liquid-cooled magnetron rated at 800 Watts output. I can only imagine the cooking speed of firing up both! -C

 

[turquoisedude]

A good time was had by all!

Jon, it was a real blast (as always) to get to hang out with you and eat you out of house and home... LOL   Seriously it was great to play with the washers and thank you for your help getting the KA on the last leg of its journey.    Phil is probably still sore from all that driving - at least it didn't snow... 

 

 

Cory, be darned careful when you lift that Radarange.  It's made of solid neutronium, I think!  

 

I'll be posting about the KA dishwasher shortly and about a raffle prize I got from Jon too (which I left part of in Phil's truck .... D'OH!)

 

[gansky1]

That Radarange is super cool, it looks like a reactor with the cooling towers and plumbing.  220v 20 amp?

 

[jetcone]

OH I'd say

atleast 440V 40 amps !! 

Its humongous and we found the original uranium nugget still glowing inside that they used to generate the 'waves too !

 

[washman]

dig

the USA made Fasco motor!

 

[ovrphil]

That MW is the first I've seen like that - the components remind me of some of the props used in old Sci-Fi movies or shows, they're huge.

PhilR - nice prize!!!!

Cold weather but the sunshine makes it look easier to handle, always. Fun times were had by all, I see.

 

[philr]

I completely missed this thread! I guess I was too busy with my new toys from Jon and Greg!! The very nice Panasonic blender is from Greg! Something I wanted for a while!!

 

I bought some Advent speakers similar to those Jon has. They're a bit newer but that's OK, they're "period correct" to match with the receiver and turntable which happen to be my age, 1977 models! The large ones sound very nice. 

 

I just had to replace a few lights and caps in the receiver.  The lights aren't correct (12 volts too dim) but I ordered a new set of 200 MA 8 volts as I could only 250 MA 8 volts locally and these are apparently too hot (I saw one of Jon's posts about that on Audiokarma!).

That is a sweet

set up Phil! So glad the 2265B was an easy fix its  a nice unit! Cant wait to hear it all in person, Phil on my 2325 switched to the Led bullet lamps, did you look into those? Nice lamp no heat to warp components.

 

[philr]

I have looked at leds, I almost ordered a set, probably will eventually! How many leds are in each of yours? 2, 3 or 6?

 

[petek]

wow... funny I don't recollect seeing this thread either before today

 

[jetcone]

Phil if I remember

correctly, theres 5 in my 2275 and 6 in the 2325.

 

I had to get a whole new lamp buss for the 2325 as the original lights melted old buss. Thats a messy job because you have to work around all the dial structure if you don't want to be disassembling it.

 

[philr]

I meant how many LEDs in each bulb!  Many on eBay have 3 or 6 inside them.

 

[jetcone]

OhI don't know Phil

I might have some spares I'll look when I get back home.
