The black and white photograph accompanying this show is of a high quality Zenith Console radio of the period from about 1938 with a "Magic Green Eye". The "Magic Green Eye" vacuum tubes lit up a bright green (to indicate the best reception of the station one may be listening) and along with the large Dial Face lamp bulbs certainly added to the mystery of any "Inner Sanctum" radio program or "Suspense" when all the lights in a room were turned out and only the light in the room came from such a radio. It added to the storyline of the program being aired at the time that has no comparisons with the radios or the modern devices of today.

@@OTRHALLOWEENHOLIDAZE Actually there is a wealth of Vintage Radio Clubs probably one in every State of the Union these days. First check with your local radio clubs. Plus, there are many retired people with this knowledge and work on such radios and many younger one's who are interested in vacuum tube technology. These old radio shows could possibly be played through the very same speaker's when the shows initially aired on the radio waves of the World AM, FM and Shortwave is still alive and well, especially in the United States. These old radio can work with all the modern devices if the adaptable equipment is added to the radio and many of them are already equipped with RCA Jacks which can play cell phones to Sony Walkmans. The sound is definitely different through vacuum tubes. It is much warmer and an organic sound one can get from digital devices playing through digital types of speakers. I would start with the Radio Attic on the Internet to see what they currently have offered for sale, as they list qualified and very good restorers of such radios. They also primarily sell them restored by qualified technicians. The Consoles are really a "local Pick-up" item due to size, but arrangements can be made for shipment. And who knows a good restorer technician of these radios may be living near you! Radio Archives out of Spokane, Washington offers the best in restored old radio shows. Their restoration work is better than other sources. They charge a bit more, but then one gets what one pays for. They do have sales monthly and generally a big one each year, so just get on their mailing list for the radio shows they are restoring and have restored and for sale on their site.

@@richardmcleod5967 When I cleaned out my grandfathers attic I did find a box of unused radio tubes. Will be giving them to a local radio club in the hopes they can use them to restore more of these radios.

@@OTRHALLOWEENHOLIDAZE Good move. Most Vacuum tubes are still good, unless they are just burned out. It is amazing how long they can last. Don't try and was them off, as the tube numbers oftentimes on the glass can be washed off and render the tube unnamable. Some can be recognized by shape, but that is not the case with most of them. Interestingly enough, they are immune to the breakdowns known to exist in the computer world and would still work if the microwaves for the cell phones and all the digital stuff went down. It is really a safer and more reliable system than what we use today. Plus, they make music sound warmer and more organic.

What are we meant to believe? Is this a case of an unreliable narrator?
