Caught by a newspaper
#11

Marsupial Wrote:Mr.Houston, congrats on a good article. I understand how stressful it can be to be under the projector, particularly knowing that we never know what the reporter will end up saying, being good intentions or not.
This is not a bad article, regardless of the typos. Hey, I speak french and noticed how badly it was written.
The article didn't have much more point than to talk about you and old radios, and it was done in a candid manner. I fail to understand the title he chose, there's no past/present radio comparison at all in the article.

Still, I liked the reading, and am happy of the tone they used.

I've personally had worst reporter experience than that. So, congrats on the way it all turned out, even if facts aren't very accurate.

Don't they have two? I remember seing a lucite and wood version of it. Maybe one was in picture and the other in a glass cage?

I was amazed about the lucite version... see trough electronics is so 1990s. LOL.

No, there is only one in the museum in Ottawa, and it is a normal TRK 12 that was purchased by Canada's National Research Council back when it was new. The one with the Lucite case and another normal TRK 12 are in the MZTV museum in Toronto, they operate the two sites I linked to, the first has pictures of the two sets in their 1939 World's Fair exhibit.
