Embedded Files
Over the years I have collected radios (since high school), pocket hearing aids, televisions, oscilloscopes, mini lasers and home vaporizers. Many of these items are what some called dead technology or closed technology, meaning the type of technology used to make the product has gone as far as it can at this time and no longer used in mass production, like vacuum tubes. A lot of this "STUFF" would wind up in the land fill if there wasn't anyone who knew how they work. So like an animal rescue center, I and others restore them and make them work again and hopefully will someday go to another collector to keep them going. Problem with dead technology, when it's "GONE" it really is "GONE" for good!

Troy Radio was one of many small radio manufacturers based in Los Angeles. Finding LA made radios is a treasure as they are fairly rare to find. Troy Radio was named after the USC Trojans football team and they gave out Trojan football schedules

The circuit design in this TV established RCA as the leader as a television maker. They steered the course of TV by providing this design to their competitors royalty free!
This was a complete restoration. Cabinet restored to original appearance. Motor rebuilt and all electronics hidden or not fitted with modern parts but hidden in original cases.
This was a near complete restoration. Areas that are visible (cabinet and visible electronics) are kept original as much as possible but electronic components hidden away are directly replaced with modern components.
