@thomasfuchs 1978 ? 👌🤓

@thomasfuchs
Can't be common. Never seen even a photo or ad before.

Approx 1978 to 1981. The tuning based on a much older Racal design, though may predate the Racal radios

I'm nostalgic for the R1155, made long before I was born. I swapped a Japanese AM/FM portable for one.

@thomasfuchs "Best year ever!" or "All from that year just works!" or "Nostalgia? For ever young!"

@thomasfuchs that receiver is BEAUTIFUL!

@thomasfuchs autostalgia, or selfstalgia ?

@thomasfuchs It's a beautiful piece and if you resemble it your old folks did a pretty good job.

@thomasfuchs rebirthing?

@thomasfuchs what kind of tape does that take?

@thomasfuchs

I had a writing teacher who said - if you want to write a story about the past or the future, look at its technology. The people will be pretty much the same.

There are forever chemicals, and this one.

@thomasfuchs you’re into vacuum tubes? Core memory?

@thomasfuchs that would still be a decent receiver today (although it probably cost as much as a used car back then)

@thomasfuchs I didn't realize I was so much older than you. 😃
