2022 Picnic Recap

It was a perfect day for the July 31st NARC picnic at the Tony Schmidt Regional Park picnic shelter near Lake Johanna in Arden Hills, Minnesota. The potluck lunch offered a great assortment of food and it was fun to see and visit with the collectors again.

As we all finished eating, Phillip updated us about changes with the Pavek Museum policies and also the search for a new facility where we can hold the annual Fall indoor swap meet.

We had an interesting show-and-tell session where attendees brought a good variety of things to show, including a very nice Zenith Royal 500, two very early pieces of Hickok test equipment, a cute little Emerson portable radio, a vintage Wright-DeCoster 4000 Multi-Test Speaker that was made in St. Paul, a nice 6-volt Zenith tombstone radio that could operate from an automotive battery charger, a 1965(?) Ford Thunderbird transistor radio made by Philco that was a Ford dealer promotional item, and we also saw how a very unusual Harding & Bazeley Spherical Weight clock works.

Here is a 7-tube Setchell Carlson radio with no model number on it. Does anyone have a schematic diagram for it?

The picnic was very enjoyable and will be held again next year, hopefully at this same location.
