Philco 86 restoration
#52

Arran,

Actually, the cam mike is quite good, I was surprised when I listened to the videos with 37-690 I filmed with the same camera (it is a hi-end SLR Canon) when listened to the videos with a pair of good ear buds.
I also noticed the sound quality becomes just a tad better when using an actual antenna or myself holding the antenna terminal instead of using the Mains' Hot as the antenna (which is what this radio is designed to do, the Hot is run through a 10nF cap to a terminal near the antenna terminal; I used a Y-sfety cap for it), though not by a large margin.

The station plays various mixes; sometimes the theme is 40-s, sometimes 50-s, sometimes 60-s, sometimes disco era, sometimes rock-n-roll. Anything from Bing Crosby and Andrews sisters to Jim Croce and Beach Boys.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Dan Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response. morzh — 07:15 PM
