    1948 British Marconiphone P20B Personal Portable Radio

    Posted by admin on December 31st, 2009 and filed under portable radios | 4 Comments »

    Here’s the other personal portable that Marconiphone brought out, the Model 20B.

    This one plays AM and LW stations.

    Bandswitch is a little flaky, could use a cleaning.

    Got this in a trade with Bob Thompson. He has the website roberts-radios.co.uk, and it has reproduction battery covers available for collectors.

    Uses a B114 combination battery pack.

    1955 Olympic Model 449 Personal Portable Radio

    Posted by admin on December 23rd, 2009 and filed under portable radios | 1 Comment »

    An anachronism.

    This radio is designed on 1940s standards–using a lid for a loop antenna. All other radios of the same time were using ferrite rod antennas and were shaped like small lunchboxes.

    I suspect this radio was based on some of Emerson’s designs, given the chassis layout.

    Cavalcade of Homebrew Radios, Part II–1961 Transistor Portable Radio

    Posted by admin on November 30th, 2009 and filed under portable radios | 2 Comments »

    Here’s another one.

    Picked this up from eBay around 1998. The seller said it was a kit radio.

    When I got the set, I was surprised to find it was a homebrew. This guy cut his own chassis and cabinet.

    The layout is identical to an article in Radio-TV Experimenter entitled “Six Transistor Portable Superheterodyne,” by T.A. Blanchard.

    According to the signature on the chassis it was built by a J.W. Rundt in January 1961.

    The builder probably purchased his parts from a company called Arkay–they had a complete kit available, but he forged ahead and scratchbuilt his set.

    Used a 226 cylindrical 9 volt battery. It has since been adapted to a standard 216.

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t play. Probably needs its lytics replaced.
