Radio engineering time travel (1930)

I invite you to look at the "pictures" related to radio technology in 1930. They come from various sources. The gallery has its sister version in Polish and Russian. Versions in other languages will be added successively. More detailed descriptions can be found in other language versions (articles are related and can be displayed by clicking on the icons with flags on the left, top of the TRIODA website). Of course, I will complement translations of signatures quite slowly. All descriptions are displayed using the present tense and not the past - this is not a mistake only deliberate action - a reference to the original descriptions from those years. In order not to delay the possibility of viewing the gallery, this site is made available as a "site under construction" - for which I apologize to all guests. At the beginning and end of each set of photographs there are links allowing to change the period - calendar year.

Under the name of A. R. Electronics hides Audio Electronics Company - a small workshop producing tube amplifiers in Gdańsk. For the first time I saw a product of this company at the end of the 90-ies of the last century, when I became the happy owner of the amplifier with the symbol SE-41. Unfortunately, I do not know if the company still exists, because for some time I have no information about new A.R. Electronics amplifiers. Anyway, in the secondary market one can meet the A.R. Electronics amplifiers characterized by good sonic parameters and interesting design line. Despite the lack of information in the official offer, A.R. Electronics produce or produced not only amplifiers but also other audio equipment such as tube preamplifiers. They were made to individual order or in a small number of units. To this type of products belongs a tube preamplifier with the symbol PL-02.

Na pierwszy rzut oka jeszcze jeden stereofoniczny wzmacniacz lampowy w układzie przeciwsobnym. Klasyczny wygląd z trzema puszkami zawierającymi transformator sieciowy i dwa transformnatory głośnikowe oraz pięknie wyeksponowaną "baterią" lamp elektronowych. Producent zaprezentował nam również zestaw kondensatorów elektrolitycznych - to może nieco rzadziej spotykane, ale również niezbyt odkrywcze podejście projektowe. Podsumowując - wzmacniacz ładny, ale wieje nudą. Ostatni rzut oka na zastosowane lampy i nagle niespodzianka - obsada lamp dziwna, że nie powiem zwariowana. I to tutaj właśnie kryje się tajemnica tej konstrukcji. Ale zacznijmy od początku...

At the end of the first half of the sixties a small audio amplifier appeared in small electronics stores. It had an avant-garde for those times appearance and shocking pink colored casing.

This was, produced by Warsaw manufacturer called "ELZA", the "WS17 Luna" amplifier designed for ad-hoc sound reproduction in medium-sized rooms: school auditoriums, smaller churches, small clubs etc.
