I don?t think that anyone has shown this before. If so, I apologize. The summary follows: Tuning into the radio is now an integrated part of our everyday lives. We tune in while we drive, while we work, while we cook in our kitchens. Just 100 years ago, it was a novelty to turn on a radio. The radio emerged at the turn of the twentieth century, the result of decades of scientific experimentation with the theory that information could be transmitted over long distances. Radio as a medium reached its peak?the so-called Radio Golden Age?during the Great Depression and World War II. This was a time when the world was rapidly changing, and for the first time Americans experienced those history-making events as they happened. The emergence and popularity of radio shifted not just the way Americans across the country experienced news and entertainment, but also the way they?communicated. This exhibition explores the development, rise, and adaptation of the radio, and its impact on American culture. http://dp.la/exhibitions/exhibits/show/radio-golden-age Bill Pritchett From njarc at mailman.qth.net Tue Dec 2 14:33:45 2014 From: njarc at mailman.qth.net (Marv Beeferman via NJARC) Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 14:33:45 -0500 Subject: [NJARC] NJARC Holiday Party - Email Your Reservation Message-ID: <8D1DC7E044917A6-A50-4BF68@webmail-vm022.sysops.aol.com> With the NJARC Holiday Party close at hand, it's time to get your reservation in; we need a final count to order food.

This is an InfoAge event and help is needed. First and most important is the need for a Santa Claus for the 3 Saturday's. The Santa that was scheduled for those days has just had to back out because of health reasons. There is a Santa Costume (XL) size at InfoAge. I have had it cleaned and I got a new beard, wig and hat for it this year. Several people had volunteered to help out with the hands on display and the craft area but nobody has stepped up to take on any specific time. This is an important fund raiser and we expect between 2000 and 3000 visitors to attend the event and tour the museums over the three weekends of the show. I can't do this alone. Please let me know if you can help. We will have an open house dress rehearsal Friday evening starting around 7:30. If you are available please stop in and take on a job for the event. R. Steven Lang, Event Chairman Garden State Central Model Railroad Club *I have looked over the setup for this event and the trains displayed are really great. This is a great h**oliday show and a nice change of pace. Please help Steve for one or more days. There are plenty of "hands on" trains for the kiddies as well. Try it, you'll like it. Our regulars should be able to handle the increased traffic for the radio museum. Ray *** ** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've been working on a small Zenith table radio Chassis Z508B. It's a AA5. The recapping went just fine. It played fine for about a half hour then went silent. It does have plenty of audio. This is what is leading me to think I'm having a silver migration issue. To this point, I've not adjusted anything, only replaced the caps. Now, I can receive an AM station from Boston (I'm about 180 miles away here in Maine) at the far end of the dial. The weird thing is this station should be in the middle of the band. I'm still trying to dig my test equipment out since the move, but I do have a multi-meter. This radio looked like an easy fix at first. Where I should be seeing voltage coming off the 35W4, there is barely anything. I've checked the tube, replaced it, and still no change. The 1k resistor is OK and just to be sure it wasn't a heat related problem, I replaced that. Here is the odd part, that signal I mentioned above, it is plenty strong in the wrong place. Does anybody have any thoughts on what I should look for? In the meantime, I'll keep looking for my signal generator.

I've checked the tube,....... Joe, Make sure you're measuring against B-, the negative end of the filter cap, and not to the chassis, which is DC-isolated by C8. Listen for the local oscillator on another radio, to make sure it's on the appropriate frequency. If you tune to a station around 1500 on the second radio, you should hear a beat when the set under test is tuned to 1045, (1500 - 455) Good luck, Al -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Adams The 19th century mansion that formerly housed The Musical Wonder House on 16-18 High St. in Wiscasset, Thursday, Nov. 20. The Musical Wonder House closed suddenly and without explanation last spring. (Abigail Adams photo) The Musical Wonder House was, at one time, a gem of Wiscasset. Opened by Danilo Konvalinka, Lois Ernst Konvalinka, and Douglas Henderson in 1963, the business achieved international acclaim for its collection of antique music boxes and instruments that filled the 32 room mansion on High Street. The collection attracted thousands of visitors each year; was written about in on-line and print publications across the country, and received the Business Recognition Award from the Wiscasset Board of Selectmen in 2012. Today, the Musical Wonder House is an empty building with broken windows, dead weeds, peeling paint, and a notice that the property is vacant/abandoned. It closed suddenly and without explanation in the spring of 2014. The only notice provided to customers was a printed out paper, dated May 25, 2014, taped to the front window that reads: "After 50 wonderful years at this location, The Musical Wonder House has closed. Thank you to our many loyal patrons." The Musical Wonder House was more than a museum. It was a business that restored, bought, and sold antique music boxes, player pianos, and talking machines. The Musical Wonder House not only left the general public in the dark about its sudden and mysterious closure. It, also, gave no notice, or explanation to many of its former customers that had left their property with the Musical Wonder House for restoration and sale - property that is now missing. Roxann Lannan was one of those customers. A Vernon, Conn. resident, Lannan frequently vacationed in Wiscasset. One of her favorite places to visit was the Musical Wonder House where she has fond memories of Danilo Konvalinka, a classically trained pianist, give private concerts on the antique organs in his collection that echoed throughout the 19th century sea captain's mansion. In 2006, however, The Musical Wonder House changed hands. Konvalinka established the Danilo Konvalinka Trust to ensure the continued operation of his passion project. Joseph Villani and Paulo Carvalho assumed control of the business. In 2009, Lannan handed over two antique music boxes to Villani and Carvalho. She was told that if she paid $5,000 to have the crank polyphones restored, they would be able to resell them for her for an enormous profit. They charged her $5,500 for the restoration then stopped returning her calls. After two years, Lannan threatened to contact a lawyer. On Aug. 23, 2011, she received a check from Villani for $1,080 and an explanation that the Musical Wonder House was able to sell one of the music boxes for $1,200. $120 was deducted in commission. She never heard from them again. "I'm 76 years old," Lannan told The Lincoln County News. "I don't have a lot of money. I was looking forward to paying the taxes on my house with the money they told me I would receive. I never would have tried to sell them [the music boxes] if I didn't need to." "This whole experience has left me feeling very angry," Lannan continued. "I feel empty and angry." Joseph Villani passed away Sept. 11, 2011, a short time after Lannan received a check from him. Carvalho, however, carried on until the doors of the Musical Wonder House were closed in 2014. Lannan is not the only customer jilted by the Musical Wonder House. According to a review left on tripadvisor.com on Oct. 7, 2014, a woman left an antique music box with Musical Wonder House for restoration. It disappeared when the business did. The Wiscasset Police Department, also, logged a call from a complainant the week of Sept. 29, 2014, stating that a music box left for restoration at a local business disappeared when the business closed. It is unclear if the caller was the same woman who left the review on tripadvisor.com, or if it is a separate case. According to Wiscasset town records, the property that housed the Musical Wonder House is still owned by the Danilo Konvalinka Trust. In 2013, it underwent a bank foreclosure, however, property taxes to the town are current, and are being paid by Nation Star Mortgage through an escrow account. Mortgage Contracting Services, a national company that is hired by mortgage lenders to provide property management services, is currently in charge of maintaining 16-18 High Street in Wiscasset. According to Whitepages.com, Paulo A. Carvalho still has a PO Box listed in his name in Wiscasset. It is, also, the same PO Box listed for the Danilo Konvalinka Trust. The Lincoln County News was unable to contact Carvalho for comment. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
