New at the Radio Museum

In the spring of 2013, the Radio Museum was contacted by the widow of radio dealer Hybschmann from Ærø. Mrs. Hybschmann wanted to donate some rarities to the Radio Museum, which was of course accepted. Among the many old things was a phonograph (see pictures) with accompanying wax rolls – both empty and pre-recorded.

The phonograph is in very good condition, but unfortunately the funnel is missing, which we will have to have manufactured or acquire in some other way.

Per Hebelstrup has renovated a couple of old radios again. This time it is an Arako (Workers' Radio Cooperative) and a Neutrola (see pictures).

Visitors to the Radio Museum now have the opportunity to experience the sound from a crystal apparatus and a single-tube receiver (see pictures).

Sven has been working with the soldering iron, and has manufactured the two receiver types that make this possible.

Fortunately, the Radio Museum is almost in the shadow of the antenna from Flensburg's AM transmitter on medium wave (702 kHz), so the AM signal, which is otherwise becoming a rarity, is really available with good field strength (7.5 kW).
(NDR - North German Radio - however, switched off the medium wave transmitter on 702 kHz on
January 13, 2015).
