Back when Uncle Charlie didn't mess around

Name the radios and the amps, I dare you!

 

Uh oh. @Ridgeline dares you, @Turbo-T

 

I see just a couple that I can identify, but back in those days I was running a B&K Mark Sidewinder and a Johnson Messenger 350.

 

He can't.

here is some help.

There is

1011c

model 90 VFO with a Lafayette 525 - I have this setup sitting right now 10 feet away on a shelf, ironic isn't it.

SBE Trinidad

8 realistic radios, I forgot the model number, i have one like it around in storage, it is all gold front.

There are two Brownings (obviously)

Teaberry Pacer T

One I can't id on top of the Teaberry looks like a pace but I'm not sure.

What appears to be an early D&A/mavarick large amp and a small one - both junk.

The little Mobile amps I don't remember the name of them but they are the same boards used in the little TS and Palomars around that time.

There appears to be a mobile amp at the end of the table, maybe a maverick circa 1974.

By the way this was posted on FB too.

 

Anyone know what "extortion on the air" could possibly be?

 

I don't think a lot of people know the history of it. I wonder if you or someone else has an idea of all the products you guys made through the years and maybe write something up for people.

I had a chance to buy one this morning for $40 in good working shape but dirty and I passed it up, I have maybe 14 of them don't need another one. A guy offered $30 for it and walked away, but what was more interesting was the display that was sitting under the table for $5, I got that.

I love the vernier control of the VFO on them and the 90's.

I have sitting in the closet for some reason (not in storage) a parts 1011C, the idiot who owned it tried to put a bigger final in it and blew the transformer, it went into the shop, the transformer was lost when it was sent in to be re-wound and it sat there until I bought all his stuff no one returned for, I was thinking if I get ambitious enough, to make it into a hybrid rig, it is clean.

 

The D-104 lollipops still look awesome.
