I'm staring a collection of vintage loudspeakers. It's interesting to note that most old radios had extension speaker sockets. I remember my grandfather having extension speakers in every room, all switchable from the radio in the dining room. He even had a speaker in the garage for when he was working out there. I suppose it was a lot cheaper than buying a radio for every room in the house. Many speaker cabinets were fitted with a volume control, which was either a wire-would pot or switchable resistors. |

READ THIS IMPORTANT WARNING NOTICE ONLY BUY A RESTORED RADIO FROM A COMPETENT RADIO ENGINEER Many early mains radios have a live chassis. That means that the metal work inside the radio may be LIVE (connected to the mains) and it can KILL YOU if you come into contact with it. Exposed screws or any other metal work on the outside of the cabinet or fascia of the radio must be checked for safety by a competent engineer. DO NOT CONNECT ANY EXTERNAL WIRING TO ANY SOCKETS ON YOUR RADIO UNLESS THE RADIO HAS BEEN CHECKED AND CERTIFIED AS SAFE BY A QUALIFIED ENGINEER If in any doubt, consult a qualified radio engineer. |
