Hi, Found this cool pic while searching the net for a Westinghouse RA/DA
receiver. I imagine it can get crazy hot in there with the equipment on,
must be nice in winter time.

Early ham radio operators assembled an array of homemade and
manufactured equipment to communicate with each other. In 1923 ham radio
operator David Asbury’s home station included a Westinghouse RA/DA
receiver (on the far right), and a homemade transmitter.
Neato. Thanks for posting it. The callsign seems a tad later than 1923
but not by much.
