I was at an antique radio show today and saw this radio made with 2 Diamond Discs... Creative way to recycle. CDB

At least the components (that are visible) are roughly the same vintage as the records.

The fellow who made this was John Bauman - KB7NRN
He had several of these Franken-radios at the show and many of them were award winners. This was the only one on display that had any connection to phonographs.

From a very old and dusty radio magazine?

Let's just hope those donor DD's were the typical Bang-jo or xylophone solos, and NOT "hot jazz" !!!!

I like it, and have some WW I era Diamond Discs with such high surface noise that they might be good donors.
