Say hello to The Lady, a radio from around 1950-1955/56 from West-Germany I bought in a thrift store today. I am ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE. I’m trying to find a way to plug it in because it has a round plug that doesn’t work on today’s ones and will try to find some channels that still work.
I think the year she was bought can be narrowed down to maybe 1950-1954 because there’s a control seal on the back from 1975, so it must have been a few years old for the previous owner to feel the need to get it controlled on functionality.

while i'm thinking about my favorite parts of different versions of good omens, there's also the part in the radio drama when aziraphale knows it's crowley calling when he picks up the phone, smugly claims it's because he's been anticipating crowley for thousands of years, and then admits to having caller ID

All finished with the restoration of my Triplett 1232-A signal generator. Tested it tonight, and it works OK on all frequency bands. It's always nice when you can bring a vintage piece of electronic gear back to life.
