[Boatanchors] Gollos Radio

[Glen Zook]

If you look closely at McMahon's "book" you will see
that it is really a reprint of the Langley book (Set
Catalogue and Index) with additions for 1931 and 1932
by Morgan McMahon.  Also the book entitled Vintage
Radio was a reprint of Greenwood's Classic Pictorial
Album that was "revised, edited and expanded" by
Morgan McMahon.  However, the third book in the
series, A Flick of the Switch, was originally authored
by McMahon.

I met Morgan a couple of times in the mid-1970s when
he came into the Dallas, Texas, area for the annual
convention of the organization that was then known as
the Southwest Vintage Radio and Phonograph Society. 
It is now known as the Vintage Radio and Phonograph
Society.

On thing about Morgan's amateur radio career is that
he let his license lapse.  Then, after a number of
years (in the 1970s), he sat for all examinations from
Technician, to General, to Advanced, to Extra at one
time.  He passed all of them including the 5, 13, and
20 words per minute International Morse code
examinations.

I checked some radio books - found a brief mention in
one of them ("Radio Collectors' Guide" by Morgan
McMahon) which lists the Gollos Radio Corp as having
made one radio, in 1925, a five tube TRF set with
three tuning dials, 2 tuned RF stages and a detector
and 2 audio stages.
