Thanks, it does work. I have three that work. I really need to make an AM transmitter as modern stations do not seem right on these older radios. I just keep some blue tooth radios behind them now to stream older stations.
@FishNChips you dont need to...you can get yourself a bluetooth receiver and play whatever you like out of the original speaker. I soldered alligator clips to mine, and can use my phone to play whatever I want out of mine. something like this...but I use one with a power adapter to the wall. Does not damage the radio...you and I have the same idea...but with mine I can use the original speaker. 2182 Kitronik Ltd. | Maker/DIY, Educational | DigiKey
Sautéed up a sausage link with peppers and onions on my DIY Coleman 425S single. Added some jarred basil pesto to some pasta and got a easy meal. Made an Apple Spice Dump Cake for a seventh game World Series party to root on the LA Dodgers.
Me, a 46-year-old Dutch guy, with a 70-year-old Dutch skillet on an 80-year-old Dutch stove making Dutch pancakes in 2025.
I have been seasoning cast iron and cooking before the rain. An old 1800s sad iron griddle freshly cleaned and seasoned. I made some eggs and fried bananas for breakfast. For lunch a chicken fried steak from our cow, served with milk gravy and a potato cake. I used an antique meat tenderizer I cleaned up, it worked amazing. I may have smothered the potato with gravy as well, lol.
I started this GPA but had to finish inside. A 2-3 hour bake time would have used a lot of Coleman fuel!!! That and 50 mph winds and sideways rain, my kitchen shed is doing ok but getting battered. This is out of a 1933 cookbook (I collect old cookbooks). Baked Indian Pudding. Old recipes are such an interest as techniques, flavors and available ingredients have changed a lot. I love hasty pudding but this one bakes for a very long time, I did not know what to expect. I did cut the recipe in half. Scant amount of cornmeal, molasses, lots of milk and spices. Well it worked!!! I would compare the texture to pumpkin pie with a caramelized crust where the batter cooked against the pan and open to the heat. The milk cooked down making a custard texture with no eggs. Its is very very good, it would be even better served with heavy cream or ice cream!!!!
Cooking up some chicken, peppers & Nopales for future uses and what the heck might as well make some chilaquiles type stuff. Used 1938 412B and a Coleman folding steel fry pan. Pan goes back to late 80's and was a regular with my new 400A. Starting to sprinkle here in SoCal
Seasoning my new to me sad iron heater/long griddle. Using the PW #4 stove. Hard ti beat bacon, eggs and potatoes for breakfast.
Rainy day fun putting new rubber on my moto. Broke up the fun by cooking some noodle on tailgate of Taco with Swedish Optimus 111T.
That is a thing of beauty! It's a classic New England food that not many people even know about anymore. It is great with a little vanilla ice cream. The next thing you ought to try is traditional Boston-style baked beans. Spectacularly good but it has to bake at about 250-275 for six to eight hours, so probably best done in an oven. The old pre-1970 Fanny Farmer recipe is the one to use. Her steamed brown bread recipe is also great.
I tried a recipe from a 1934 cookbook today, Creole Waffles. I made 1/3rd the amount and still got two waffles. I was wondering how it was going to be without some spices but it was very good. Not a crisp waffle but more of a cake texture. It took some time to warm the stove and waffle iron with this cold!!! Served with butter and maple syrup. I did nit beat the egg whites but just added the egg in. Our modern leavenings are pretty good. I was also keeping it simple for a camping recipe.
On a recent short holiday. The very pleasant Department of Conservation campground had a nice covered steel bench that was ideal for cooking on. Dinner about to be cooked by iWalker DK58A running on Meths. Dinner was a fail; I added too much water and ended up with a kind of pasta soup. Coffee time. Sauteing red capsicums for dinner on the Trangia 25. It's running the X2 multi-fuel burner and after turning it off silence once again reigned over the campsite. It's a loud roarer.
So apparently my new electric stove with a safety button in the middle of the element won't heat up an old cast iron pan with the ring on the base because it isn't depressing the button. I said "to heck with this....time for the flamethrower" lol. I walked in and grabbed the 530 Coleman that I had last fired in January during our super rare snow event (Florida). A couple of tries and the leather expanded and we were in business. This was my first time cooking on this stove and I didn't need the simmer plate. Scrambled eggs with fiesta cheese and diced ham. Toast is sliced brioche bread with grape jelly.
@Cookie Great job....to do the same thing I just use fewer pumps on my stove but personally hate browned eggs...yours look perfect!
