Video Tour the Vintage Radio and Communications Museum - Part Two (Video) 14
Video no longer available.
Earlier this week we ran two videos about the Vintage Radio and Communications Museum of Connecticut. Their site says, "Our volunteers are happy to give personal tours," and that's what today's videos (and the two we already ran) are: personal tours of the museum conducted by volunteer Bernie Michaels, known in ham radio circles as W2LFV. And for extra fun, after we ran out of video time we added some bonus transcript material for those who remember things like Sams Photofacts. (Alternate Video Link 1 - Alternate Video Link 2)

I fear that a younger generation has little appreciation for the experimenters and "makers" of the last century. Until you take away the i-stuff and wifi and the Internet itself, you're not going to get anyone's attention with old radios.
Today's hams are limited to slow, unencrypted media, although they have more combined frequency to play with than anyone else save the governments. Yet their speed is hobbled, channel sizes a joke, and ancient technologies still rule radiosport. It's a lesson.

ok, seriously, if you like this and you live in San Diego, why not check out something similar(albeit with a mechanical bent): http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum... [craftsmanshipmuseum.com]

I made their first website around 1995 or so. I wonder if it's still kicking around the museum somewhere - it would certainly be vintage communications by today's standards. Hopefully it didn't have too many blink tags!
