S.P.A.R.C. Museum

Society for the Preservation of Antique Radio in Canada

The Maple Ridge Museum hosted us on August 4th, 2007. That event was the Mayors’ Heritage day, held in the Memorial Peace Park. We were located on the Bandstand. As you can see, we had a good sampling of our radios, and an ambitious broadcast operation playing the music.

The operator’s position. Our gear here includes the Revox PR-99 (from CFUN) and A-77 (from CJAV, Port Alberni), plus a “Broadcast Electronics” triple-cart deck for the vintage commercials and promos. The board is our McCurdy PE1000 from the 50s (donated by Global TV- thanks, Vic!).
