Hi,
I am looking for a vintage TV indoor antenna, circular coil style or any similar old vintage TV antenna. Thanks in advance.

Dear Crveey.

I do not have the type of indoor aerial you are after, but can tell you that it was called a Spiromatic.
There was also a second version of it called a Spiromatic O.
This was a longer version available in Melbourne to receive channel O.

I ocasionally see old ones at weekend markets. I always prefered this type of indoor aerial to the telescopic spears waiting to take out someone's eyes.

Wayne.

A very good quality spiral antenna is available from Wagner Electronics (Sydney) or Wes (wholesale) here:
