Waiting for delivery.... --- End quote --- I missed that part. I won an auction for a NOS in box Tektronix plugin from the 1960s. It had never been opened. The rubberized horse hair they used as packing material smelled so strong I nearly tossed out the whole box! I know how bad these rotting organics can smell... |

How many Wallabys died to make that covering? So would Dave class that as a dumpster score? You may need your PPE when carrying out the autopsy. Found a Tecnico address from http://www.thebakeliteradio.com/page55/page55.html Tecnico Electronics, 13-19 Glebe St. Glebe. NSW Which on Google Earth is now a block of luxury apartments. What a surprise. not. |

Tecnico 859, or something around that number I believe. Not 1940 - style is later than that; I would've said late 40's, maybe early 50's - and the 859 is from 1948. |

As to ugly, have I shown you the "Number 11 Radio set " I used to own? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_set_No._11 |
