@michaelaakcottrill.bsky.social🧵- Some of the novelties from the mid century!
This is before we start looking at television and computer electronics
Interesting tid bit about the barradio is that radio parts were directly under the ice tray, making this novelty cool but not very useful 😅
@michaelaakcottrill.bsky.social🧵- Here's some of the HAM Radio Collection the museum has! My favorite has to be the refrigerator that they turned into a transmitter 😁
More info in descriptions and the last photo is the QR codes to learn more!
@michaelaakcottrill.bsky.social🧵- Now we move into the mid century! There were a lot of beautiful console radios as well some quirky smaller ones.
Description are in the alt text.
@michaelaakcottrill.bsky.socialThis should wrap up the rest of early 20th century pieces.
Quite a few description from the museum as well. These can be found in the alt text!
@michaelaakcottrill.bsky.social🧵- More shots from Frank Lynch's shop!
I really loved this little area of the museum ❤️
@michaelaakcottrill.bsky.social🧵- A few photos from the recreation of Frank Lynch's Radio Sales & Repair shop. He was one of the members that founded this museum.
More information for each piece is in the alt text.
@michaelaakcottrill.bsky.socialSome very cool looking EverReady Batteries and an interesting (but very of its time) ad for PerryMan Radio Tubes. My favorite was the oversized battery hanging from the ceiling though haha
