Designer Radios

 

If your last radio was picked up at a department store you might want to treat yourself to a stylish one next time. Check out this Laser Radio by Tom Kipgen from Tom’s Designer Radios. Nothing stock here! The image above shows a consignment job that he did for someone looking for a radio with a James Bond 007 feel.  If you want to see a video of one in action have a look at the Magic Eye model here.

“This is, in fact, a regenerative radio that runs a very small speaker. The main and tickler coils were wound as honeycomb and mounted in their separate housings on one end of the main tube (2.5” plexiglass). A special housing for a small halogen light and blue filter was machined and mounted behind the coils. “
