John Kogel Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 That radio is a Zenith A724, circa 1958 or 9, as if you needed to know. With new developments in mini tubes in the 50's, they were able to overlap the AM and FM circuits to cut down on parts. They produced some fine sounding radios for a moderate price and many of them were put away in still working condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks, John. I had to turn it on to see if it worked. It did. It made me want to have a beer and listen to a White Sox game. I sent you a PM about a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks, Mike. So testing the radio appliance is standard practice for you? Does that go in your report? Do you inform the buyers of a possible shock hazard? Did you test the fan powered stool too, or is this just random testing you do on a whim?

Mike Lamb Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 As you might have guessed, taking pictures is a hobby. I try to steal pics of things that look cool during my inspections. I have to do it quickly. These houses where the 90 year old occupant who hasn't redecorated or changed out appliances for 50+ years are the coolest. I'd love to grab my tri-pod and spend hours shooting dozens of shots with different lighting, angles, etc. All this old retro stuff is just disappearing. I took this cityscape shot from the balcony of a condo and my client caught me and asked me what I was taking pictures of. I said the view. It was nice. He said yes it was.

John Kogel Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 That's a very dramatic skyline, with the jetstream and all. Very nice indeed. I suspect that fan-powered stool is actually a hovercraft for the pu**y cat. Too bad you didn't get to try it out. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
