Is anyone there ?
 

Is this NG still working ? I have not seen any new posts for 10 days now.
Usually the problem is with my server ( news.virginmedia.com ) failing to
update regularly.
Usenet is an old system, but nevertheless it is a good system, you don't
have to sign up for a forum
and there are excellent posts in the binary groups.
I know that, sadly many ISPs do not support Usenet Groups.
However, may I suggest that all subscribers try to introduce as many friends
as possible to Usenet since there is always something for all tastes among
the 100,000 or so groups, also contact ISPs regarding the importance of
keeping Usenet support.

Yep, been quiet lately. I am just admiring the old stuff, but I have
no suitable contributions, so where are all those collectors??????.

I had just sign up for account here. I saw a joke that a friend use on
his fb that was the same here on this forum. I really not sure what to
do here. There is no chit chat lounge or just a off topic thread. I
really no nothing about radiobanter. It seem like nobody has made any
threads to reply to. What can i do here on this forum?

A McMichael portable c.1929 (?) English, in fibreboard case but no
lightweight. Ripe for restoration. Evidence of somewhat frantic early
"repair". 2V accumulator, 90v HT, separate grid bias battery for output
triode. Moving-iron 'speaker. A bit cheap and not very cheerful. MW/LW,
two side scales have the station names, the top scale gives
wavelength/frequency. complicated dial stringing. The "volume" control
is in the cathode potentiometer network. Contemporary '30s trade
journals listed this model as "a disappointment" for this maker.

Wow, that's a beauty! Well, in terms of a 1929 radio at least :) Thanks
for posting it!
