Knight Radio Broadcaster Amplifier - AM MW Radio Transmitter - Broadcasting Old Time Radio

The Knight Wireless Broadcaster-Amplifier was available in kit form around 1960, and sold for $12. It can be connected to a record player, or microphone to send programs out to any AM broadcast band radios in the house. 0r it can be used as a complete preamplifier, and amplifier, with any phono cartridge. One input takes ceramic or crystal cartridges and microphones; the other takes magnetic cartridges and microphones.

I got one at the swap meet, already built, and experimented with having a low power radio station in my community before moving on to other things and boxing it up for storage a few decades ago. Recently I got interested in taking it out and putting it into service. While I have modern tech to listen to music and podcasts, I also like old time radio and figured that this would be a fantastic way to listen to old time radio and have the most authentic experience possible.

If you want to see a very comprehensive look at this broadcaster, then you want to watch the video made by Mr Carlson's Lab.
