We had WICKED hard rains, wind, and FOG last night. It cleared up by 11 p.m. but maybe some dealers were afraid of more of the same today -- the place was 3/4 full. I didn't spend much. Books purchased: HOW TO USE GRID DIP OSCILLATORS, Rufus P. Turner. SAGA OF THE VACUUM TUBE, Gerald F. J. Tyne. 70 YEARS OF RADIO TUBES AND VALVES, John W. Stokes. HOW TO MAKE THE MOST POPULAR ALL WAVE 1 AND 2 TUBE RECEIVERS, Gernsback Educational Library No. 2 (Megadyne, Beginner's "All-Electric" One-Tube, "Four-In-Two" All-Wave, Super-regen Single Tube Loudspeaker Set, Portable 2-tube Battery Set, Beginner's One-Tube All-Wave Battery Set... Most of these look like ones appearing in the Lindsay Publications Radio Craft reprints... HOW TO BECOME A RADIO AMATEUR, ARRL (1957). Includes a 2x6AQ5 regen rx and one-6DQ6A glowbug transmitter. COLLINS SIGNAL magazine, October, 1946. Includes an announcement for the 30-K ham transmitter and an ad for the 75-A (were there any sold?) receiver. I said hello to Rhyne Killian, Chris Sieg, and Mike and Cynthia Crestohl, nice to see BAers in person! Chris delivered the Wireless Set No. 19 to me from his Hillsboro NH store (before anyone asks, 1-603-464-5625). Did not charge me a delivery fee, either. :-) So maybe I'll be crazy enough to get it on the air, but for right now I will shine it up as a curiosity. (The supply for the ARC-5 pair will come first.) Also found a few ham crystals -- 7006.667, 3706, and 3709. Lindsay Pubs is 815-935-5353, fax 935-5477, lotsa good glowbugging books. One book I saw was DeForest: the Man who Conquered Space (I believe that was the title). Published in 1930. I meant to buy it on another go-round but either the dealer packed up or it was sold. See ya! 73, --Andy wallace@mc.com ------------------------------ End of GLOWBUGS Digest 82 *************************
