RADIORAMA JUNE 18, 2016

The Cincinnati Antique Radio Society (CARS) held their annual Radiorama on Saturday June 18.  Radiorama is open to the public and is a chance to show, buy, sell and trade collectable radios.  It is also a fundraiser for CARS and the Gray History of Wireless Museum through the donation auction at the end.







On display was a Zenith windcharger.  This is how many farmers listened to the radio in the 1930s before power lines were extended into the rural areas.  The windcharger charged a storage battery that would power the 12 Volt DC farm radio.  A farm radio is sitting below the charger.















Also pictured is a collection of Zenith radio receivers that belong to members of the club.
