“I am a Beatle and will always stay one. So people always refer to me as a Beatle and that's not something that bothers me. Many bands are still judged by the standards of The Beatles”. He also said that he is often regarded as “the clown”.
Even after awakening so early, due to the vagaries of the tube at Baker Street I have missed the first 10 minutes." At that point there was a large appeal. "That's Yorkshire, all out, game over," one of us replied. Tom was entirely unperplexed.
I'm not one to believe what I see and what I hear coming out of the boob tube, in fact a strict diet of The Science Channel and TCM keeps me (what I consider) above the fray. I'm the one asking "Mila Kunis? What's that?" (Of course I still ask the same
Niche Market | Radio Electronics, Pre-1965 - WNYC
"Now it's 1952 all over again," Richard Matthews said with satisfaction, after buffing a small black radio knob to a shiny gleam. "It's beautiful."
For those who tinker like it's 1959, Leed's Radio is Candyland. This 2,500 square foot warehouse is literally jam packed with an inventory of between three to five million parts, including vacuum tubes, transformers, coils, knobs, switches, light bulbs and just about anything requisite for a radio made before 1965. Some of the stock dates back to 1919, a few years before the original Leeds opened on Manhattan's Radio Row in 1923.
But with the exception of the hulking 1940s-era Radio Free Europe machine in Matthews' office, you won't find a completely assembled radio here. Leeds is a store for people who like to build and tinker with antique technology, not for those who want to purchase pristine relics.
Customers speak a language of resistors, capacitors, diodes and tubes that evokes dusty engineering textbooks. For ham and CB radio enthusiasts, digging through drawers at Leeds transports them back to their childhood. But there are plenty of young customers as well, who get excited about building their own pedals, amplifiers and fuzzboxes to create a specific lo-fi, glam or psychedelic distortion.
"It's a very elusive thing with musicians, you're always looking for a really cool sound. I wanted a sound that no one else had, so I started building my own gear," said bassist Neil Berenholz, who was recently there to pick up vintage electronics in order to build an amplifier the size of a lunchbox.
According to Matthews, 54, an electrical engineer with a thick mane of red hair who fixed his brother's phonograph at the tender age of seven, in this digital age, analog technology is more popular than ever. Matthews says the number of customers has actually increased since he bought the store on an impulse in 1994.
"I think people are always going to be fascinated by it because it's macro," he said. "You can hold it in your hands. The parts make sense, when you see a switch you can understand the way the contacts work." The way iPods work, on the other hand, is undecipherable to most people.
The warehouse store itself is an impressive mess. Overflowing boxes of tubes, wires and sockets are stacked floor to ceiling, labeled with magic marker. Matthews claims he knows where everything "important" is, and he will dig through the madness for a customer's fancy. The most popular part Matthews sells is a $10 RCA radio knob. "It's supposed to be the most perfect knob ever designed, ergonomically perfect." Matthews only makes one exception to sell parts made in the past half century--if the old stock has simply dried up. "There's a limited amount and once it's gone, it's gone.
