Restoring a Radiola AR 812

Over 20 years ago I bought one of these from evilBay. Unfortunately it was shipped by the Angry Gorilla shipping company so by the time I got it, there was a few scraps of lumber, bits of smashed glass, bent metal, twisted wires left.

I have radiola ned fix

You are a very talented person. Looks great.

Interesting to hear the call letters CFCY from Charlottetown PEI. In my lifetime CFCY was on AM 630 KHz with a mega 10.000 watt signal that covered a good part of the Maritimes. PEI soil contributed to great ground conductivity. Like all good things AM Radio has come to an end with disappointing results since FM signals are so very anemic. As Alanis Morissette sings isn't it ironic? Now Tecsun makes radio's that can be set to wide bandwidth giving the few remaining AM Radio Stations a bright open and delightful sound. I recommend the Tecsun H-501x if you live in an area that has a surviving AM Radio Station. Both AM & Short Wave represent technology that was more useful than many would think. Shutting down RCI Sackville and the whole Short Wave operation was foolish and short sighted. Made by people who did not anticipate crisis like the war in Ukraine. RCI had Short Wave reach into Ukraine and Ukrainian programing.

Wonderful to see this restoration and thankyou to Lea Barker. Hello to the Ottawa Vintage Radio Club from The Cape Breton Reginal Municipality in Nova Scotia. (Sydney City & Surrounding Towns)
