Kutztown Radio Show Spring 2022

All pictures taken with a Fuji X-E3 camera + W-Nikkor 35mm f2.5 LTM lens

It's hamfest and radio show season!👏

 

On Friday, May 13th, I drove through the back roads northwest of Philly towards Kutztown with Ding, who attended this event for the first time.


The weather wasn't very cooperative. Soon after we got there, this vendor had to move to the pavilion due to a heavy downpour.


There weren't as many vacuum tubes compared to the past years, but Ding found enough 5U4Gs to replenish is stash.


A pair of Utah Celeste 12" co-axials driven by a DIY 6CK4 SE amps in para-feed mode provided nice tunes.


A clean Rek O Kut belt drive turntable + Grado tonearm


A well worn ROK B12 Rondine with a Borg "death cube" motor


I've never been a JBL fan, but here's a pair of 4311B monitors + a Harman Kardon receiver.


Green Altec 802D + 806A!👍 
Unfortunately, the diaphragms were fried.😥


Fisher mono receiver + a Scott stereo integrated


Art Deco and Noveau speakers


Hifi guys


A nice monophonic hifi system could be built around this University 6201 co-ax housed in a nice mid-century modern cabinet!


A pair of Heathkit W-7 PP EL34 monoblocks + a DIY tube amp


When stuff I used to see at Circuit City, Crazy Eddie, J&R Music World, The Wiz, etc. are considered vintage, we can only guess what that means.😆


A pair of PPP 6L6 amps


Technics SP15 + a mixing console and a cool art deco TV


Stereo Lab of Columbus Ohio demo'ing brand new Wharfedale speakers driven by a Leak integrated amp fed by a Leak CD player.


Visit the Delaware Valley Historic Radio Club website for more info.


Before leaving, I spotted this '56 Chevy Bel-Air.


My paternal grandparents had one, albeit, black and white, 235 cid "blue flame" straight six + three on the tree. It was in service until 1981. 


See you in September!
