the Mark Pike

I bought this old radio at a yard sale down the street for $25 (my 2nd best bargain of the week). Beautiful wood grain, knobs, dials, tubes, amplifiers, wires. It’s a Farnsworth, which just sounds fancy. I’m going to try to figure out how to rewire it so I can plug in my iPod. I think I might just be able to pull it off.

No matter what I do, it’s not going to look nearly as cool as this one.

I was hoping the radio would only play vintage programming. Perhaps I’ll turn it on now and Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds will be playing.
