If this publishes O.K., a few words of introduction: I thought it would be a good idea to do a blog on vintage radio and vintage marine engineering as well. However, with respect to boat engineering it will be less "vintage" and more "eighties" when boaters were keeping it simple with prop-generators, TWC regulators, split-charge battery banks and, yes, large and noisy engines.

As to the radio side, I repair radio equipment from the Thirties, Forties, Fifties and Sixties. I'm not an expert but I've managed to fix a few sets and have a tendency to listen to my Forties era radios on the boat.

Seeing as many people afloat tend to have plenty of knowledge of electronics, I'd be happy to help get you started with radio.
