The Northland Antique Radio Club2025 NARC Summer Picnic ReportSunday July 20 was the perfect day for the NARC summer picnic! Maybe it was too nice of a day and people had other plans, because attendance was down a bit, but we had a good time eating, visiting, and doing 'Show and Tell'. Attendees brought a variety of things from their collections, including an elaborate vintage child's crank phonograph that was found at an estate sale, an unusual set of 'Cap Communicators' baseball cap walkie talkies, a working Zenith Royal 760 'lunchbox' style transistor radio, an Arvin portable transistor radio with an unusual slide-rule tuning dial that could be flipped for best viewing if the radio was lying flat on a table or if it was standing upright, a Guild lantern novelty radio, a number of beautiful framed photos printed in various ways so they would appear to be vintage photos,a bird house that looked like a cathedral radio, two vintage Westclox alarm clocks, a 'Big Ben Deluxe' and a 'Baby Ben' that were in exceptionally nice condition, and a Tiamboy FM stereo microsystem with CD Player and Bluetooth that was found at a sale.
A highlight was Jim Reynolds speaking about his career at his Custom Recording Studios business during which he recorded around 2000 LPs for a wide variety of clients. He brought the first album he recorded ('Joy in Serving Jesus' recorded in 1966 for the Free Church Youth Fellowship in Minneapolis) and his last album, Gerber Brothers 'Reunion 77', plus a few others, including his most successful LP, 'Bringing Back the Trash', that he recorded for The Trashmen in 2014.
