I'm gonna have way too much fun w this HAHA

This might be the coolest damn science experiment I have ever done, oh my GOD Using the Bose to make sure it was bang on 850, and it seems this thing goes a lot further than I expected which is.... A little worrying LMFAO Time to try the much more fun radios w this 👀

Ok last one I promise I just can't really put into words the supreme satisfaction and fascination in resurrecting something from completely dead, to hearing it sing and talk for one more run in a completely different era This thing is burnt, cracked, yellowed and in all regards beaten, and yet :)

Somehow fixed it Kinda Idk it works now that's good enough for me, I may make a better fix down the road though, even the damn caps from the 50s work incredibly well LMAO Enjoy some modern styling, by 1958 standards :)

Plan to take it camping over summer, get a SIGNIFICANTLY nicer ultra thin speaker into it that is more than double the rated limit, which shouldn't blow again (and possibly may even sound better) and see what it's capable of! Fascinatingly, it is the only radio I own that can receive the OIRT band!

In action 🎵

Space out and listen to old cassettes night :)

Listening to tapes feels like a really nice end to the year tbh

Found this obelisk of a camera I wanted to mess with way back in 2016 or so when it was originally released, and despite all odds and an almost guaranteed to be cooked battery and etc, this one seems to be one of the lucky few :)

Caught the states from here some 60-100kms away! Seems to be somewhere in North whatcom county on a proper licensed repeater/network! Absolutely stunned this little handheld is pulling in as much as it is up here, feels meant to be as theyre discussing tips for first time GMRS users SNRK
