Antique radios, Old Time Radios
Konrad Birkner † 12.08.2014, Germany - Tube collection
 |
Below you find a part of the tube collection Konrad Birkner † 12.08.2014.
As a teenager mainly repair of pre WW2
radios.Hobby became profession by graduation as
an EE (Dipl.Eng.Communications). 6 years
Rohde & Schwarz (Polyskop) followed by 26 Years
Aerospace Avionics. Early retirement (health) at
age 53 gave even more time allowance for the
hobby (not the only one). Radio collecting
started in 1978 when I remembered a wonderful
radio I owned as a boy (and played it to
death, shame!). It was a Blaupunkt VII. The
collection grew, but 20 years went by - until I
could proudly own my dream radio. It joined an
international party of about 300 Radios: Crystal
Sets (ca.70); US radios (ca.120); the 1920s;
Homebrew
contemporary and recent; early Superheterodynes
with triodes; tiny little Japan made colorful
tube radios around the latest miniature
AC/DC tube generation.
Please see this "in memoriam" which was the only page we displayed on his funeral day (EE).
Zunächst Jugendbastler, Schwerpunkt
Reparaturen von
Vorkriegsgeräten, dann Hobby zum
Beruf gemacht
(Dipl.Ing.Nachrichtentechnik), 6
Jahre Rohde & Schwarz
(Polyskop), 26 Jahre Luft-
und Raumfahrtelektronik, mit 53 in
Frührente = noch mehr Zeit fürs
Hobby (aber nicht das
einzige); Sammeln seit 1978, als der
Wunsch nach einem Blaupunkt VII
wieder aufkam, den ich (Oh
Schande !) in jungen Jahren mal
besaß und "kaputt spielte". Die
Sammlung wuchs und der VII kam
auch, aber erst nach über 20
Jahren. Er traf auf eine Reihe
Zeitgenossen aus aller Welt.
Ich
sammle: USA; Detektorgeräte; 20er-Jahre;
Selbstbaugeräte (original und
eigene), Triodensuper, und kleine
bunte Röhrenradios mit Miniatur-
Netzröhren (die allerletzte
Röhrenradiogeneration aus Japan).
Bitte klicken Sie dieses "in memoriam", das wir am Tag seiner Beerdigung als einzige Seite des Radiomuseum.org als Wertschätzung seiner Arbeit zeigten (EE).
