My First - Tube Radio!

Tandberg Sølvsuper 4

This I got "Second Hand" as a very young radio-repair-man!

Dead it was - and I ordered new valves from "Kviteseid Elektriske" - lived at that time in Nissedal in Telemark - Norway - I was very amazed when it lighted up with 2 new tubes and I listened to Radio Luxembourg - Radio "LUX" all night long!

Since then a bit "Hooked on old radioes"!

As young, fresh educated, Radio-officer - 
I sailed to New York - U.S.A several times on my first ship "Dyvi Oceanic".

I always took a trip into the Big City, and was of course highly amazed
 over what The Electronic Shops had to offer in this great town!
Walls up and down filled with great stereo - amplifiers!
My dream was to buy a Sansui - and after 8 months sailing & saving I bought:
