Found Antiques
In addition to some papers (which I assume were part of the user manual), it turns out this was a Series 912 Elecronamic Tube Tester. Was not expecting this, when I opened the box up.

Liz’s Birthday 2023, Day 2: More Antiques, and a Return to Chicago
Is he gardening, or working on making a salad? So many questions.
Liz’s Birthday 2023, Day 1: Red Arrow Antiques
Nearly every old photo I find at antique stores/malls… each one contains a lifetime. So much history and life in this glimpse of a moment.
Searching for Keys, and a Visit to Marz Brewery
Our first stop (and primary errand) was Salvage One – and a hope that we could find a skeleton key that fit some of the old locks that we have (in particular, for the vintage kitchen door that Liz is restoring).
Road Trip for a Door in La Moille
Via Facebook Marketplace, Liz found a door that she really wanted, to use as our back kitchen door. She repaired the one we have now, but has been on the lookout for its replacement for some time.
This morning we rented a U-Haul van, and made our way down to La Moille.
Portland Anniversary, Day 5: Old Portland Hardware and Architectural, Aurora Mills Architectural Salvage, WillaKenzie Winery, Erath Winery, Dinner at Nick’s Italian Cafe
A lot of stops for us today.
A Light Road Trip: Day 4
Whirlwind weekend. We got back home around 8PM or so, which was nice – but were utterly, utterly wiped out.
A Light Road Trip: Day 3
I got to explain to her what this was, and why we were all freaking out about seeing it. And the woman was pretty interested in hearing about the history of the jug, and what it actually was.
A Light Road Trip: Day 2
On our way to the next location. This made for a very fun and stressful trek, as we were heading towards the trouble.
Jung Family Vacation in South Haven, Michigan, Day 3: Saugatuck Antique Pavillion
Today, Liz and decided we’d split off to do our own thing. Given the area, we were wanting to go wander some antique malls. She picked one that seemed to have good reviews, and we drove over to nearby Saugatuck.
Visiting Urban Remains and Salvage One
Liz had been itching to work on the yard this weekend, but given how much rain was in the forecast… we decided to go visit some shops today, instead. First up – Urban Remains, a place I had visited once before, but Liz had not (though I was there to pick up an item she had purchased from them, online).
New Old Hardware
Liz has always been quite exceptional in her online research, and was quite proud at finding hardware that actually matched what we have in the house. All told, I think she’s been on the lookout for two years, and only recently found some matches. She’s been doing this a long while!
The Goonies Coloring Adventure Book
I meant to do a more in-depth post, adding in screenshots from the movie alongside each illustration. But that was an ambitious idea, and I am a lazy man. So I’m mostly just going to post up the photos of the thing, without much commentary.
New Old Furniture for our New Old House
We had several conversations during our time there, trying to figure out where we might place particular items. At a certain point, we stopped trying to answer that particular question and thought about the opportunity – when else might we be able to purchase something like this? It was a little dizzying.
Exploring Urban Remains: American Antique Architectural Artifacts (and Other Oddities)
This was a large, circular container… filled to the brim with curved, black and white photographs. I’m not sure if the photos had any direct relationship with the vessel they were in, but it seemed to be a mishmash of images: some of heavy machinery, others of what looked like a school or church.
