Another photo from our tour of the Zink Moror Company in Appleton City, Missouri. The old Ford agency there has a wonderful little museum, and even an apartment on the top floor which was actually used many years ago. They have kept it as it was in the past. So here we see an old Philco refrigerator, a checkered tablecloth and a strange gadget clamped to the table. How many of you know exactly what it was used for in this vintage kitchen?

Tucked away in east Akron, The Bomb Shelter has been showing their customers how to fit the objects of yesterday into today’s world since 2011. This retro, antique superstore opened with 18,000 square feet of warehouse space and a vision of finding the unique treasures they love and bringing them to the public.
Holidays mean family get togethers. Family get togethers mean going out to my brothers. And going out to my brothers means stopping at one of my favorite haunts.
As usual, it did not disappoint me.
The old “Philco“ radio dates back to 1941.
This model is a ham radio and gets about any place you could think of. I can just imagine the family setting around the radio listening to the old program's of the day.
A Philco Golden Grid TV, from around 1956, sits in an activities room in the main building of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, also known as Weston State Hospital, in Weston, WV.
Construction on the hospital began in 1858, and the first patients were admitted in 1864. The hospital, designed to hold 250 patients, eventually housed over 2,400 at its peak. The Asylum ceased operations in 1994. Today, the asylum is best known for its historic and paranormal tours, which offer a glimpse into its architecture and the history of mental health treatment in the United States.

Found this in a mid 1800's log cabin. Yep there are logs behind the plaster and a very angry buzzard in the attic.
With much anticipation, I watched this morning as my husband stripped the wire of a 1942 console Philco Ford radio he'd found years ago. He added wire nuts and affixed a new plug. I stood by with my macro lens and camera on the tripod, getting in his way. He plugged it in and voila! Zip. Nada.
Thus, a cold glass vacuum tube.

Thank you for looking and commenting. As always, I feel grateful for you and to you.
NB. We're now, 6.22.15, in the real throes of moving. I'll try to comment as soon as our household things are loaded onto a ship; there's a rather blissful lull then for about three weeks until everything arrives at our new house. Miss the interaction here!
The Philco worked well, but didn't have enough capacity. This unit is a bit bigger and moves more air. It is also the oldest air con I own!
I have three of these radios and my goal is to make 2 good ones from the lot. I thought the rear view looked pretty good in sepia. Notice the loctal tubes and two internal antennas (AM & FM).
A little torn and frayed, but it all adds to the character of this vintage Philco mic. bit.ly/PBMusicFB
for Macro Mondays Back in the Day. My father-in-law was an electrical engineer and we have the rustiest old "chest" with many of the above (plus Mullard etc) valves belonging to him. They intrigue me - the fine wires, components, shapes inside the still sparkling (when polished!) glass tubes. HMM EVERYONE
This is my Philco table radio that I have owned since receiving it as a Christmas gift in 1966, our first year in our Seal Beach home.
This radio utilizes vacuum tubes for operation, a technology that was already being replaced by solid state construction for consumer electronics by the 1960s. Viewing the schematic glued to the underside of the unit it appears to utilize 6 vacuum tubes for operation.
Philco was part of the Ford Motor Company at that time.
It’s a quick photo that I took in order to fulfill a request by another Flickr photographer to see the radio.

Really fun storefront and signage, from the neon "furniture" sign to the cool Philco sign with its funky shape and, if you look close, you'll see the king too!
