Can anyone identify this antique amateur radio setup?

[Omega-TI]

Is anyone here old enough (if still kicking) that can identify this amateur radio setup?

Gotta love that early model D-104

Is that really an early model of the same company that made the d-104? Damn.

This is a pretty old radio.

Looks like a second generation Marconi, circa 1910 plus or minus.

So this is the company that made the microphone I started on in the mid 60's.. except for "the curly cord" of course,

I guess it's something we have to think about all the time now with everything we see... I will have to say it didn't look right to me as if I would really know that time.

If I see, read or hear anymore AI stuff I am going to hurl chunks.

Yes.

That’s a vintage 1928 YL

 

[trentbob]

It is what it is

Yes.

Good job! I was doing Google photo searches. Nothing.

I thought it was Lauri, especially since I see no logbook.

Looks like a modified "candlestick" type telephone, if you notice the hookswitch on the right hand side. That might make it Western Electric

I think if it was AI, she'd have 8 fingers on each hand or something...

No, the picture is NOT AI generated. It's on a few sites on the Internet...

I did however enlarge it a tad, enhance it and colorize it to make it more appealing.

That photo I posted without the coiled cord of course, I received from my dad on my 12th birthday in 1965. That was the microphone.

That old radio equipment apparently has now been identified but man that's old..

As far as LCF.. wherever she is, it's nowhere around here..😉

Dang, man you're in for a rough time! Better stick to newspapers.

Don't think that still images of the same garbage won't be printed on the front page, above the fold, of the toilet paper of record. Completely changes the game especially for professional photo journalists. Mostly for the public.

The microphone I knew was real because I used it for so long but the original microphone I didn't realize that company went back that far.

It's good that the original poster was able to get an answer!

Are you AI? Only a bot would have such a visceral reaction.
