when it rains, it pours...

> Do Simplex radios still show up?
I've got 3 or 4 really beat ones. Think I can make 2 decent ones maybe 3. I bought one at Kutztown last fall that if you blow on it good and hard it would crumble, I mostly was looking for another chassis. All of them need the chassis stripped down as they and rusty. I did get one them working a year or two ago. Basic set four tubes #58 rf amp, #57 detector, #47 audio output, and #80 rectifier. From 1931 or 32.

Here's some pics of other Simplex sets:  http://www.radioatticarchives.com/archiv...=s2#Simple
I'm pretty sure that they made a number of different chassis sold them to other outfits that would cabinet and rebadge them as there own.
Didn't know that Sandusky is such a large place! Tnx for the geography lessen!

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
