A Radio Postcard Journey - 13


A Piece of Radio History ЁЯУ╗ postcard from Isabetta in Italy! It features a vintage "PHILIPS" radio receiver, model 831A, dating back to 1932.

This radio represents a significant step in radio technology, marking the transition from bulky "composite" models to more streamlined designs with built-in speakers.

The postcard mentions that this particular model is part of the collection at the Radio and Television Museum of Turin.

Tuning in to the past! ЁЯУ╗ This postcard takes me back to the golden age of radio in Italy. It highlights "Sixty Years of Radio History: 1924-1984", a RAI (Italian National Broadcasting Company) exhibition. The card mentions some technical details that any radio enthusiast would appreciate - medium wave range, reaction circuit, 4 valves... it even specifies that the tuning scale is numerical! A cool glimpse into how radio technology evolved.
