Radio Caroline "Ross Revenge" radios.
Can anyone identify the particular gear here?
Posted on Twitter, the text says "Peter Philips is live from Ross Revenge on Radio Caroline North at 4.30pm. On 648AM, 1368AM via @ManxRadio, and at http://radiocaroline.co.uk Here he is in the ship’s radio officer’s cabin with ship-to-shore communications transmitters, used when Ross Revenge was a fishing trawler."

Re: Radio Caroline "Ross Revenge" radios.
Some items such as tuning scales, meters and control knobs suggest Telefunken equipment.
The white ceramic fuses might fit in with this theory. |

Re: Radio Caroline "Ross Revenge" radios.
Regardless!!!, thats a nice bunch, or is it clutch, of electric wirelesses. Compare that photo with the latest digital shyte, and tell me which looks best?. You had to know how to tune them!! it wasnt run by some 32 bit chip the size of a match head.
NICE pic G6 Joe |

Re: Radio Caroline "Ross Revenge" radios.
Given that the "Ross Revenge", originally named "Freyr" was built in Bremerhaven, Germany in 1960 the use of Telefunken equipment seems entirely likely.

Re: Radio Caroline "Ross Revenge" radios.
Receivers on the right have similar appearance to this Alamy stock photo of an "Old Ships Radio". Frustratingly, no maker's name but markings in Danish.
https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-ol...-92907477.html I agree that the Transmitter units on the left look Germanic Vintage around Late 1950's to Early 1960's, but the no-frills functional look is always hard to date. |
