Got the urge to play around with a 1920's TRF set or similar. Found one this weekend at an antique shop in Michigan City, In. It's a "Liberty Five" made by the Liberty Transformer Co., in Chicago. 1925 I think. No tubes or a speaker, but it is in really good condition, just needs some spit polish. Paid $50.00 and I hauled it home (2 and a half hours) in a vacuum cleaner box strapped to the sissy bar of my Harley. The women working there seemed really concerned for my safety ( and sanity). I e-mailed them and told them We made it home in perfect shape. It'll be a project and a learning experience. I felt a nice set of this vintage was almost a must have for my collection. Haven't found a schematic yet.
