Title: Re: GLASS DOOBIES Post by: W6TOM on June 25, 2019, 06:36:27 PM I think of my Dad taking me into a Radio Shack in Boston when I was a kid and before it was bought my Tandy, a real radio store and I fondly recall the glass antenna insulators!!
Title: Re: GLASS DOOBIES Post by: KA0HCP on June 26, 2019, 09:38:35 PM I have one glass insulator and the antenna knife switch from my Granddad's crystal set, circa 1920. We took it down from the house he grew up in when we painted it around 1982. The knife switch posts were insulated on the backside with tar.
