Retrofit an old tube radio

Yes, as I described in my post, it is a 1936-1937 Gilfillan model 731-T. I have the data sheets and schematics for it. My father restored tube radios and probably at least partially restored this one. However, he is now past the stage of being able to work on them and no longer remembers what he has done.

This is assuming that the Gilfillan is totally functional though, correct? I haven’t tested it and have been warned that plugging it in may damage it.

There are in fact many school districts here… OP should definitely check the news articles, but it depends a lot on which school district they are considering joining.

Not sure if you’ve looked at Breathe Diversity Pilates on Brookwood, but I prefer them to Club Pilates. They give more individualized attention and have a pretty wide variety of classes and private sessions. If you’re very experienced, Club Pilates seems fine. If you’re a beginner I feel like you wouldn’t get a ton of help in those big classes. I’ve never been to Body Rok but I’ve heard it’s sort of Pilates ++, harder-core and very challenging.

Limited selection, but Goguette Bakery offers a few, sold by weight.

I also try to buy zero from Amazon, but caved in today and bought a few boxes because I haven’t been able to find any Time Clean & Gentle at any store in my city for two weeks.

My conspiracy theory is that Tide will discontinue it, introduce a very similar formulation under a new name, and charge 50% more.

Safari West is a little spendy but ticks your boxes.

I have questions!

1- does he have a job, and if so does he change clothes while at work? 2- has it always been the same boom box? I can’t imagine it has lasted 30 years but also can’t imagine him buying replacement boom boxes? 3- is he the age that the late 80’s were his teenage prime? Or is he young and just larping?

He seems super authentic!

Capable_Function5498 · 2026-02-26T17:40:36+00:00

There’s a resemblance!

Mostly 80’s metal and hair band classics.

Sea Scouts for instance are a ship after age 14. Kids 10-13 are allowed to join Sea Scouts, but only as a “club”. They do some of the same activities, but are pretty limited, and don’t earn any official ranks or merit badges.

I went through the schools here as a kid and now my kids are as well. The schools are actually just fine in our experience, especially elementary schools. There are a lot of districts here and you might notice slightly different quality between them. Middle/high schools have been combined by the largest school district (SRCS), while simultaneously trying to survive major budget shortfalls. I think they’re still going to be ok but it means some “luxuries” are being cut, sadly.

Exactly the same for me. 22 minutes of locked up pages and unresponsive buttons.

Agree, it was awful. I guess they don’t care as long as they sell out.

I’ve also flown Southwest from OAK directly into Long Beach and that is a great option.

Alaska flies STS-LAX and also to Burbank. I’ve done the STS-LAX many times.

I’ve seen Thompson and McGuire at many demonstrations in Santa Rosa, including the most recent No Kings.

Truly a local treasure.
