I must say that it was a "Breath of Fresh Air," to see a TELEVISION, as the, "Receiver of the Week" picture.

I do wish that I had such a fine example to show.

My best example is of a Howard Battery console radio that had its cabinet restored by the one of our late members. It's pearl dial reminds me of the pearl dial of the AWA.

Wayne.

There are still a few spots left for member contributions.

The ironic thing is that the member who initially suggested member contributions didn't end up going ahead.

Currently we have two televisions and two radios from members.

I'm hoping that when I finish my reliance skyraider that I might be able to have it as receiver of the week.

Can't see why not. It can replace the battered one I have there, which I also no longer own. It was sold some years ago to free up some space as I didn't have the time to restore it.
