Very nice job. Interesting idea about switching off the eye tube.

Very nice! Those series of DeForest sets are pretty rare. Seem to see the Rogers versions more often...

Dan;
I have the fancier version of that radio called a "Brahms" it has a bank of pushbuttons, and a motorized dial, but I have seen the "Liszt" version come up from time to time as well, they seem to be more common, probably because they were $15-20 cheaper back in 1938.
Brad;
I've noticed that what brands turn up in what area seems to depend on what distributors operated in the region, in my area I see more DeForest Crosley sets then Rogers, but I see more of either type then of the Canadian Majestic models. In my area there was a Phonola dealer, a Sparton dealer, a Westinghouse dealer (in a downtown hardware store), a small Eatons store, and RCA-Victor dealer, a G.E dealer, and a DeForest-Crosley dealer, I have no idea who sold Philco sets in the area but they turn up too. What I don't see too often is Canadian Marconi stuff, but it does turn up in Nanaimo.

Paul: You must be into classical music.
Myself: I like country music and I didn't know who Liszt was until I looked it up.
Thanks.. On Am stations up here we don't get very much that I like NEWS WEATHER ,
SPORTS, TALK, TALK, TALK.. I do pick up KMON 560 Great Falls Montana., and sometimes CFUN 1410 Vancouver B.C

Dan;
I was picking up a classic country station from somewhere in Alberta a while back, I can't remember where it was from but it was up near 1500 Kc or so. Can you pick up 790 CFCW in Calgary, they are a country station in Edmonton?
With regards to classical music I didn't know who Franz Liszt was until I tried to find out what one song was that they used in several classic cartoons of the 1940s. The somg was called Hungarian Rhapsody Number #2 and was used in a Tom and Jerry cartoon called "The Cat Concerto".

790 CFCW is now 840 and still country. We also have 1440 that plays 70-80's music during the day but it is a low power station.

Piano Concerto 1 is a nice piece, talented guy. Some vintage radio folks are not big into FM but we have a couple of good Classical stations up here, play some fine music, sounds nice on a Zenith AM/FM, something other than Talk, Talk, Talk, and good luck that with very sharp set.
