Retro Addendum.. The Firestone Air Chief!

Several people have noted the Firestone Air Chief 4-A-30. One really kicked my butt to get it to work. One offered some good advise.

Some may think it is a sad commentary on my life to be sitting at home on a Saturday night pondering this. I think not.

I do still have some noise coming from it that I need to troubleshoot, but I proudly present new voices from a 64 year old mouth piece:



And once again I can only imagine my grandparents and their children around the definition of the home entertainment center back in the day. And yes it is again WSM in Nashville TN on the same tuned pushbutton.  

Sorry about the lighting, but as it is AM radio coming from a state over, the unit is really sensitive to rheostat dimming and fluorescent ballasts.

The one thing I can say however is that the audio output is impressive. It can easily fill my house with sound. 

The other thing is yes, again it brought a tear to my eye as I never heard it when my grandparents were alive. I wish they could hear it again and I think that the bluegrass and country music still coming from the Grand Ol Opry would feel familiar to them still now.
