Dale, you might be interested that there will
be two groups of GenRad papers on the block
at the Charlotte Conference. One has I think 2
GenRad catalogs and some other papers, and
the other has several GenRad "Experimitters"
I think was the name on them.
All in nearly mint condition.


Ron -

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll look for those at the auction. Yes, it
is "General Radio Experimenter" - their monthly newsletter published
monthly from mid-1926 to mid-1972 to promote newly introduced
instruments and to demonstrate applications for their instruments. I
have a solid block of several years from the 1930s, but spotty
coverage of the rest of the years. Even if the Experimenters and
catalogs are dupes of what I have they are still worth bidding on for
trading with other collectors.

As a collector of old radios and old instruments, Charlotte is one of
the two events that I try to attend every year, the other being
Shelby. Unfortunately I had to miss both in 2004, but should be able
to make both this year.
