MN.02.04.1987: Vintage Radio with Gerald Wells Part 2

from The Media Network Vintage Vault 2024-2025

This is a follow-up to the visit to the Vintage Radio Wireless Museum in London. More great stories from Gerald Wells. I particularly love the stories about Bakelite and the Philips V7U radio which was a nightmare to repair. It was built without a chassis! The programme also looks at the work in the Netherlands on AM stereo developed by the late Professor Jan Geluk. I recall that Holland was successful in pushing for the 19 kHz pilot tone as a worldwide standard for FM stereo. Ken Mason Junior explains the US scene. Gerald Wells discusses the onion tube used in early televisions. We also review the Woody Allen film "Radio Days".
