those old comodore computers are beginning to be scooped up to be turned into sid chip based synthesizers more and more .
i am not sure if the com 20 has the sid chip or not but com 64 computers are really becoming scarce in these parts.

Very nice finds!! :thumbsup:

Welcome to the Philips Small Appliance Club. Here's how I got my membership...



And since we're talking about small appliances made by major electronics manufacturers, I'll see your Philips and raise you a Kenwood...



So there! :-P

I have ~ 10 antique tuberadios stored, they are all from my grandma.
But i´m not really interested in them.
I only keep them for personal memories! :yes:

But some are quite nice. :-)


Or some nice adds to magnetophone or so...

The problem of the very old units is, there is no UKW. :-/
I have some units of the radio beginning, only with MW and LW.

But also some with UKW
Here 4 of them

PHONOLA (ex kitchen grandma) and KAPSCH (livingroom)


MIVAR Samar and KAPSCH Harmonie UKW (other grandma)


And a KAPSCH Univers in awesome condition is located in my livingroom.
Love it.
The sound is soooo other than a boombox.
I play it for relaxing an dreaming in the evening... |-)

Those are from the ending 50s till the beginning 70s.
I own 2 big units of the 40s, but only MW and LW.

Here 2 more modern ones.
The left one is a PHILIPS Adagio.
My first homestereo (tube unit)
The right is a HORNYPHON Prinz


And this is the one of the living room.
Love it for the warm harmonic sound and the look
Like a dinosaur :blush:

Thanks John.

And anybody thinks shipping a boombox is difficoult?
Ok, try shipping a tube radio without damage. :-O :-/
Click to expand...

lots of bublewrap,

news paper crushed,

and some tape to secure it, woulto do the trick.

and by the way, i once shipped a 40 pound tube radio from the States,

to Portugal,

and it arrived intact.

!!!

nice.
