Last week I shared the “Airplane Dial” of my old 1934 Silvertone antique tube radio. Today I show you what’s behind the dial. Like most radios from this generation it has an open back design, with some old vacuum tubes inside. These tubes glow when the radio is turned on, and shine onto the wall the radio is up against.
Radio’s that glow have a certain mystique to them, don’t you think?
