I'm into fire, but the radio is what caught my attention. I used to have an old Blaupunkt. I'm not sure what happened to it. I think it may be in my brothers barn. It was huge heavy beast with a remote power supply.

It had all the bands available to the public, but I never had a decent antenna tower. It was when the CB craze hit in the seventies, but as always, I went several steps farther than what others were doing.

I'm pretty sure,  it's from a local AM station I got it from an estate sale at one of their former engineers.

I like escalators and lifts and seeing who makes them. I know of Schindler, Otis & Kone and Thyssenkrupp.



I don't know why I like this stuff.

Interesting!
An old co-hobbyist I knew collected enormous tubes also, but all of his stuff was from ships. His radar tubes were impressive - you would have loved them!

He had made a small power supply for an old ship based radar tube and kept it as a "nightlight" lamp. It let out yellowish light from the bottom and an eerie purple and ultraviolet glow from the top. It was the coolest lamp I ever saw. The, almost two feet tall, piece of glass made quite a statement, too. Even though it was non-functional as a radar tube, he estimated that the power level he was using, it should last for over one hundred years as a lamp.
