Rich,
What rigs and equipment are we looking at there ? Looks like one may be a Kenwood .

 

[Highlander_821]

A little hard to tell, but he's got a Turner +2 head and element mounted on a flexible boom!

I know that the Kenwood is a TS130S, and the bigger set is a Yaesu, forget which model.

what is on the top shelf to the right of the lantern. is it an old am/fm radio or maybe an old sw radio?

I saw that free-floating head and wondered what it was to the left of the rigs. That's pretty neat !

A Zenith "Transoceanic" Short wave radio
this one is approximately 60 yrs old , and works good !!!!!
they were the first generation of battery powered short wave radios

very popular during ww2 and the later forties and fiftys

I found this one shivering and dirty in a corner of an abandoned garage
brought her home , cleaned her up , restrung the tuning dial
and brought her up slowly on a variac ,

Imagine my delight when it came to life and started receiving !!!!!

Ive since had to replace one tube , but was an easy find
and cheap ,
