I am about to give up identifying this radio. I have had it for several
years and have not ever seen another like it. It has no name or model on it.
The two tags on the rear only list patent numbers. I have looked in Riders 1
thru 14, Sams, and Beitman with no luck. I have also searched Ebay many
times as well as other sites on the net without success. The radio is a
superhet with the following tube line up: 6A7 converter, 6K7 IF amp, 6H6
detector, 6F5 first audio, Two 42's in parallel as audio outputs and 80
rectifier. The closest thing that I found was a sears 7171 in Riders 10-95.
The chassis layout for the 7171 is almost identical but with one less 42 and
a different IF amp. Sears didn't build their own sets and I would almost bet
that whoever built the 7171 also built the radio that I have.

Thanks in advance for any and all comments and info.

Many, many people do yEnc, Ken. It shouldn't be hard to find software
which decodes it effortlessly. I use MT-Newswatcher on a Macintosh but
could use a number of other newsreaders and decode yEnc with no problem.
Given that there is so much more software available for PCs, there
shouldn't be any difficulty finding a newsreader that will decode it.
Forte Agent probably does.

Just post the danged .JPG. That's what your digi-cam (or cell phone camera,
etc.) probably creates in the first place.

If you're posting to an international newsgroup, you want to make things as
simple as possible for the widest possible audience.

There may be someone out there who can instantly identify this radio, but
who doesn't want to piddle around with changing newsreaders, downloading
conversion software, etc., just to view one photo.

The point is that yEnc is not a standard. It is only a defacto standard. I
was able to view the original post because I spent some effort a while ago
to find an add in for outlook express. It wasn't a fun experience. The
smaller transfer size offered by yEnc isn't significant in my oppinion,
especially with HS internet. Frequenters of this NG typically don't want to
fuss with gimmicky free software. We just want to click and view.

Folks,
I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my email program and newsgroup reader which
incidentally decoded the yenc photo that was posted here without any
problems.

Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

My last experience with Mozilla was not a good one!

It wouldn't accept a whole host of plugins I rely on and when I tried to
uninstall it, it messed up so many settings I had to run system restore to
clean up the mess!

That's exactly what I like to do and do it all of the time, yEnc or no.

I understand your sentiments, Phil, and if I couldn't find software to
decode yEnc, I'd be irritated, too. If you look at it from another
point of view, folks who doggedly refuse to accommodate yEnc, which is
fairly common, are making their lives far more difficult that it needs
to be and missing out on content that they might enjoy or benefit from.

If I post I use UUEncode - not a yEnc fanatic or anything. I just
figure - use free and/or easily obtainable software that manages it and
spend life clicking and viewing, not cussing and fussing.

And those who use it might miss out on getting help from the only
person who can help, but don't have the time or inclination to convert
the file so they can see it.

I have often wondered why. Why would someone post in yEnc, when only
a small percentage of people can view the image. Why not post in GIF
or in JPG when EVERYONE can view it.

No, I am not interested in reading all the comparisons of the good and evil
of yEnc. I am just a simple person, with simple wants and needs. Not
interested
in looking for software, download it and running it so that I too can view
yEnc.
I neither like it nor do I dislike it. I just don't use it.

I hope that this post will NOT start any flame wars.
