Here is a recent acquisition. Pretty interesting vintage TV-FM Antenna. The Jerrold Magic Carpet!
Instead of me describing it...see for yourself...
It's 27" tall x 60" wide.
Edit: Should I downsize those pics. There are at 800x600, maybe 640x480?

I'm finding the occasional online reference to various magazine articles relevant to FM and TV antennas and reception. Alas, no access to these unless the main city library has them, and libraries are getting away from keeping old magazines, especially audio and electronic titles. I once actually had many of those issues, but living in the real world forced me to downsize several times...
Had the Allied catalogs, too.

Here's something I'd almost forgotten about : a preselector, in the form of the DAK Beam Box. I believe Magnum Dynalab once sold something similar, and I had a DIY device from a magazine article; they can be very useful. Finding a used one won't be easy.

There is some great stuff archied on that microfiche and film rolls. Libraries are one of the greatest developments ever in the history of mankind. |

New antenna spotted Barberpole FM & Shortwave!
3 and 6 foot sections.
Search Ebay for Barberpole FM Antenna...
Quote:
Introducing the Barberpole 6 foot tall FM and shortwave antenna! We invite you to watch our video of the Barber's effectiveness and then continue reading on about this fantastic design guaranteed to bring incredible performance to your FM needs while serving as a great shortwave (or HF as it is also known) solution as well.
The Barberpole is proudly made in the USA out of high quality materials which are also produced in the USA. Comes complete with instruction manual, antenna, and mounting hardware. Works great by attaching via an alligator clip to your radio's collapsable rod antenna, or the alligator clip can be removed so that the oxygen free copper element can be plugged directly into the Hi-Z connection on your high end radio. The element is precision wrapped to gain maximum length from the supporting pole without too many turns that would result in choking out the signal. We've achieved this efficiency only through countless hours of testing and design utilizing different environments, radios, and terrain. In our tests, we've found that transporting a large antenna can be cumbersome. This is precisely why we've designed the antenna with a coupling so that it can be disassmbled for easy transport in your car or even strapped to the back of your motorcycle for those out of the way camping trips.
We've sold countless Barber's in local markets and venues to various amateur radio afficionado groups, and to countless others that need big FM receiving performance without a big price, and are now taking our tried and true product online! As a matter of fact, we're so sure that you'll be satisfied with our product that we will stand by it...
FOR LIFE!
You get an unconditional 30 day warranty. If for any reason this antenna is not for you, we give a full refund including shipping; just ship the product back, no questions asked. After that, we will warrant the Barber against defects in workmanship or material for the life of the product by offering repair or replacement (see instruction manual enclosed with product for a full warranty description).
The all weather Barber is a great outdoor antenna standing up to sun and moisture, but will also work extremely well indoors with exceptional performance for those without exterior mounting options. Bring an old radio to life with an antenna that can hang with the big boys, all for a low cost and a lifetime guarantee. Gain extra performance on the shortwave bands as well; far more than an internal antenna alone can do. Does your antenna do all of this? If not, get the Barberpole today!

From the description, that's almost certainly what it is. Seems like a good recommendation.  |
