Here's a link to a unique video that presents
some uncommon insight
and observations when I was recently allowed to attend Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) with some very bright, creative and talented under-graduate
and graduate students who want to learn about antique radio and phono
technology. The course is taught by Ron Roscoe, an excellent Professor, antique
radio and phonograph enthusiast and good friend. Ron is helping develop the
next generation of America’s finest engineers some of whom will carry on the
tradition of antique radio research, repair and restoration.
