Italian tube radios and more

 

Very few Italian sets are in this collection. Quality of average Italian sets was very poor if not indecent. Power transformer was seldom used, the metal chassis being connected to the mains. No internal loopstick antenna, no variable bandwidth, no loudness control, no smooth tuning mechanism. In my opinion not one of the radios built in Italy between the fifties and the sixties could met the now existing CE safety rules. On the contrary most of them are harmful when used and even when left inoperative, due to common use of asbestos.

 

Anyway this section also contains other devices, as record players, tape recorders, home sets of other countries and even some early solid-state sets.

 

The page is still under construction.
