Title: A.H. Ross receiver Post by: WZ1M on May 17, 2012, 08:56:05 AM A local contractor called me this morning and said they were tearing down an old house and it had a radio if I wanted it.
It is an A.H. Ross 4 band receiver and also has the external speaker. I cant find anything on this radio. My guess is mid 30's. Anyone know or even heard of this brand? Regards, Gary Title: Re: A.H.

You're dead on with the timeframe, A.H. Ross was around for a few years in the mid thirties. They offered a handful of models and went away like Sargent, Patterson, Breting and so many other manufacturers of the day. Those pre-war sets are my favorites. Would love to see some photos when you get a chance, Gary. Title: Re: A.H.

The first was a model 2B (2 band), then followed by a Jupiter and 4B production models. Both were 4 band models. The 2B and Jupiter are 6 tubes while the 4C was an 8 tuber. The latter had a meter while the 2B and Jupiter did not. In addition they made some custom receivers.
Hope this helps. Peter Title: Re: A.H. Ross receiver Post by: W3RSW on May 23, 2012, 07:44:35 AM Gary, a pix would be welcome. Sounds like a neat old radio. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
A few years ago, the Antique Wireless Assc "OTB" ran a crossword puzzle with old radio companies as the unknowns. I had no idea there were so many, and not just the more arcane either. Apparently many brands I've never heard of we're quite popular at the time. |
