Why Did The Boy Put His Radio In The Refrigerator

[Evangeline Mellon]

Despitethe Great Depression, America saw an explosion of mechanical refrigerator ownership during the 1930s. In 1930, just 8 percent of American households had a fridge. By the end of the decade, nearly half of American homes had one.

A refrigerator equipped with a built-in radio has been placed on the market. So popular was the first model that the manufacturer has made available a choice of several models in different sizes equipped with radio. This has been accomplished by having the radio mounted in the top of the refrigerator, and having the refrigerator constructed so that a top equipped with radio may be substituted for one without.

Because most radios are placed in the living room, one or two rooms from the kitchen, usually the housewife, when she is in the kitchen, finds it necessary either to miss a program or turn the volume up to a point where it is objectionable to the rest of the family. With this popular combination the housewife may work and listen at the same time.

Great video on the H-126b radio, I do have a question on the Filter Capacitor when you installed the new capacitors (47 uf & 22 uf ) did you cut all of the filter contacts and leave the Can terminal connected or did you cut all three of the contacts of the filter cap.

A refrigerator is the largest and most visible appliance in a kitchen. A new one can change the entire look and feel of your kitchen. We offer refrigerators that have both style and substance. We sell General Electric (GE Profile), Whirlpool and KitchenAid fridges.

Whether you want a refrigerator that has more space for fresh food than frozen, balanced space for both, or GE fridges with french doors for easy access, we stock and sell them all. Visit our store for a wide selection of fridges, and other home appliances. If you have any questions, call us directly at 703-538-4400.

Here you find 3116 models, 1741 with images and 2636 with schematics for wireless sets etc. In French: TSF for Tlgraphie sans fil.

All listed radios etc. from Westinghouse El. & Mfg. Co. - see also Canadian W.

Chapter 38A of the Montgomery County Code requires that any person, firm or corporation that engages in the business, occupation, profession or trade of installing, repairing or maintaining radio and television equipment or electrical appliances be registered.

The registration process is performed by the Office of Consumer Protection. The process includes completion of an Application for Certificate of Registration for Radio, Television & Electrical Appliance Installation and Repairs and payment of a fee. The fee schedule is based upon the applicant's number of employees, and appears on the last page of the application form. Both new and renewal certificates are issued annually.

This unique Westinghouse H-126 "Little Jewel" radio resembles amini appliance. Some people think it was given as a premium to customerswho bought a Westinghouse refrigerator, but that's a myth.Contemporary ads identify it as the "Little Jewel," and I havenever seen any advertising or brochures portraying it as a give-away.

It's not uncommon to see these radios repainted in other colors. I suppose thatdoes no great harm, since the radios were painted in the first place, but if yousee one in pink or metallic purple, be aware that that is not an authentic factory color.

This is an AC-powered AM radio, receiving the standard broadcast band.Its sturdy cabinet is made of plastic and metal and it measures 9 inches highand 6 inches wide. Small enough to be easily moved, it has a swing-up handle.

This radio uses six tubes, including an RF (radio frequency) amplifier. Despite thesmall size, it should surpass many inexpensive five-tube radios at pulling in distantstations. Adding a long wire antenna will improve distance reception, of course.

The paint on my radio has some scuffs and scratches typical of a radio 60-odd years old.Otherwise, it's in excellent shape. When I get around to restoring this set, I'llpolish the metal parts a bit more.

This RFI kit is specifically designed to suppress interference triggered by today's smart appliances used in the kitchen and household that act as "transmitters" and affect other appliances or radio/TV/Cable audio systems OR these appliances may act as "receiver" of energy from other devices such as ham radio, CB, AM broadcast and other electronic devices in the home. The problem is generally the AC power cable acting as an "antenna" picking up or transmitting signals.

A simple ferrite ring filter on the DC power line can help suppress the RFI noise affecting the victim device or keep the DC power cord from acting as an antenna and radiating RFI into other victim devices. This kit is also useful on laptop computer supplies, routers, cable modems, wireless phone charges, etc.

Installation is quick and easy: Just wrap the DC power cord through the center of the ring filter as many times as you can and reinstall. For best results with long DC power lines, use one at the ring filter at the wall wart end (to prevent the wall wart power supply from using the DC line as an antenna) and another at the DC plug end (to prevent the electronics in the powered device from using the DC power cord as an antenna). Typical installation is shown below:

"It is a huge undertaking to sort of untangle how refrigeration has changed what we eat," said Nicola Twilley, a journalist and host of the podcast Gastropod. She's also the author of the forthcoming book The Birth of Cool, which tracks the rise of refrigeration and its global impacts.

Rees, a professor of history at Colorado State University Pueblo and the author of three books on the history of refrigeration, traces the start of the modern refrigeration industry to Massachusetts merchant Frederic Tudor in 1806.

"He realized that the ice in New England that freezes every winter was itself a commodity," Rees said. "So he started selling it in the southern United States and the Caribbean, and he sent it as far away as India."

The principles behind the modern refrigerator are the result of hundreds of years of scientific investigation into the nature of matter and heat. In the early 20th century, that culminated in the development of the vapour compression refrigeration cycle.

"Once you can refrigerate food, you can manipulate not only time, so how much time you have to consume it; but also space, so how far away that food can be from a consumer and still make it to them," said Twilley.

As car-dependent suburbs grew across the continent following the Second World War, refrigeration-powered supermarkets supplanted local markets. Combined with the ability to keep food cold at home, the North American diet began to change considerably.

"There's a long history of the destructiveness of refrigerants both environmentally and to human health," Lilley said. "We've been using them for 100 years and we still have not found a suitable replacement."

Modern refrigerators now use hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), but some varieties have as much as 10,000 times the atmospheric warming impact of carbon dioxide. Many governments are now looking to phase out HFCs, but there's no clear agreement on what to replace them with.

Lilley is looking into other possibilities entirely. For his graduate thesis, he and his team outlined a process they call "ionocaloric cooling." Instead of using the energy from a liquid-to-gas transition, his system modulates the concentration of salt ions in a solution to change its melting point. With no vapours involved, there's no potential for dangerous gas leaks.

For a while, this seemed to be increasing with my age, which worried me somewhat, that it could be a warning sign of memory loss or worse. I feared it could signal that my attention span was getting shorter or that my personal ambitions were being curtailed.

My refrigerator mind helped me get through all manner of part-time jobs from delivering newspapers as a child to bagging groceries as a teen and delivering pizzas as an adult. A good long car trip alone can be therapeutic if for no other reason than to enter into my refrigerator mindset for several hours.

Slipping into refrigerator mind is a great strategy for getting ahead at the office. When someone makes a suggestion at work, half of the people will explain why it will never work while the other half tacitly support it, but the refrigerator mind just absorbs it, offending nobody and humming peacefully along.

All radios for sale by The Retro Radio Shop have had a thorough assessment and electronic refurbishing. All out of spec tubes, resistors and capacitors replaced. Any cracks in case repaired and painted. Each radio will come with a schematic diagram and, if applicable, a work order detailing the restoration work completed. Please feel free to ask any questions. Buy with confidence!

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the recalled refrigerators contain an ice bucket assembly component that can break resulting in plastic pieces entering the ice bucket, posing choking and laceration hazards to consumers if the pieces are dispensed out of the ice bucket.

Consumers can also visit -recall-information to see if their specific serial number is included in this recall. The model and serial numbers are printed on a serial plate located inside the refrigerator compartment.

Electrolux Group has received 343 reports of plastic pieces breaking off, including two incidents resulting in laceration and ingestion injuries when the pieces were dispensed out of the recalled ice bucket.
