[edit] Bakelite
I am not sure how to fix this, Bakelite is a thermoseting plastic, which means it won't melt! BUT it is Very Brittle. It is also Opaque.
The picture at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Radio_Diora_Pionier_U2_1.jpg actually looks more like bakelite than wood, but I can't tell for sure.
Thermoplastic did sometimes melt. Many of the thermoplastics are semitransparent. cmacd 15:03, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] To Do
- Section on moving iron speakers split off to its own article
- References would be good
- Replace 1958 radio pic with typical pre-war homemade rad pic.
- Perhaps add a few more sylish radio pics dotted around the article
- Add (links to) sound recordings of moving iron and inductor dynamic speakers, and perhaps a 20s/30s radio
- Not sure whether to split warm up times off
- There are various related wiki articles that need reading and interacting with
[edit] Recordings
Would be nice to add a recording of some early speakers/sets. Question is what could be played in such a recording without there being a copyright problem?
