OK OK OK......I have NEVER seen that before!
Boombox or not, odd balls are welcome!
Yeh I can see that now you've said it...probably why I liked it!JVC Floyd said:I love it . looks like it could be the head from a 1950s space robot.
Yeh it has some bands that are new to me so I guess that's whyBarb Bush said:Perhaps for the different frequencies. AM-FM using two, HAM frequencies using the single longer antenna?
Not an expert in the field but it makes sense to me.
You're dead on freemason man. Shortwave/radio is what made me take full interest in this boombox hobby. AM and LW will use a ferrite bar inside the radio most likely. The 2 together on the side will function as a dipole, one being the active element and the other acting as a ground and I imagine would be for the VHF range of the radio that starts in the Lo-band at 38 on that radio and ending at 174 and longer single vertical for shortwave band reception. I've seen tons of different models like this pop up at HAMfests as well as in collections of Shortwave listeners and amateur operators. A HAM up the street from me has a big multiband grundig that covers up into the UHF bands as well.Barb Bush said:Perhaps for the different frequencies.
