Splendid forum texts in English

Since Radiomuseum.org has been started in Lucerne, Switzerland, most texts (still) come in German. But one can also find exemplary texts in English. And of course you can select your language(s) in a way that you never see a German text.
 
It is entirely up to you if your collector friends (as guests or members) will find more and more interesting texts in your language. I have only provided the receptacle (container) for such work.

Rules for this forum
RMorg offers you a very different forum than you may have experienced.
The only aim is to get solid answers to questions and to bring in informative facts that one likes to read also in a few years. Our forum is intended to be a data base, not a chat forum. There are many other forums where you can chat.

Our forum should entirely be factual and friendly.
We do not like guesswork, "hot air" and bringing up opinions instead of facts (others might know). Don't use ironical remarks etc. - they can be misunderstood. Quarrelling or deleting/changng text after it is referred to by others can be a reason for termination of rights to the forum.

We do not discuss politics, religion and the rules RMorg and the forum is run.
If you have recommendations you write this to an officer. You find the officers by clicking "Administrators" on the HP (search page) and then above right "Staff". This is NOT a club but an organisation (foundation).


Examples of splendid forum texts in English
Here I will try to show some of your work which you or others think is outstanding. Then I will link this thread prominently. As soon as you name me other texts for other topics than listed here I will add such a new topic title.

I find that we should receive more repair stories - either as general articles - or posted from the model page as model specific work. The "pleasing articles" should have integrated pictures.

General technical information
Detailled Circuitry Analysis on Grundig 5040W/3D with motor tuning - an interactive co-operation.
Articles like "Padder in a Superheterodyne" (Hans M. Knoll) are welcome.

Repair stories (inside)

Electrostatic Tweeter Restoration by Paul Pinyot

Restoring (outside, material)

Somebody faces a problem - help in this forum:
This functions even if both partys are of other tongue and write in English:
This has been posted via the model page.

Display and preservation of radios (Ernst Erb), good photographs (Martin Renz).

Interesting radios
Who brings such stories like this one about Zenith Trans-Oceanics (Konrad Birkner)?
Or something like about this Radiola RS for instance?

There is a big variety of things you can do in RMorg - besides writing a new article. Some HOWTO-articles explain in the FAQ.

With the Forum-Editor (WYSIWYG-Editor) you can do a lot...

Most interesting is preparing and loading up pictures of radios etc. of the own collection. But also of foreign pictures if you care for the copyright.  Here you see how you can create good photos with rather simple techniques.

Having uploaded pictures from your own collection to models then you automatically get your collection page which normally is listed very high by Google - if you have entered alonger and interesting text to your collection page.

Here you see something about picture sizes. - if you are logged in as a member.
Something about repairshops - for members only.

To scan, prepare and upload schematics is not a simple matter - but we recommend a free tool here..

How to find tubes and how to accomodate tubes on RMorg. And what is a tube variant here?
