Today I took a quick trip to Akiharbara, I went to the old radio building, I am not 100% sure what it is called but something like that, was a sign that said since 1947 so its been there from the beginning of the new Japan. There is everything there from LEDs, switches, mulitmeters, resistors, capacitors, speakers, transformers. I could of taken 1000 photos and not showed you everything in this building. Todays trip I took photos of the glory days of vintage electronics, Vacuum tubes, there were a couple places selling tubes, power transformers and audio transformers. It is an old building and its like going back in time!!!
When I left home it was blue skies and nice and warm, while I was there a thunder storm and rain rolled in, I headed home on the train expecting a wet bike ride home form the train station as I had no umbrealla, but on the way home it had cleared to blue skies again so I was lucky!! Just a wet bike seat this time!
Sure is a must see if you plan to visit Tokyo.
She was 86 years old, the shop was something to do with NHK I think she said
Another tube shop on the ground floor
Just standing at the enterance to the radio building
Every level has different electronics
Enterance - You can see the "since 1947" sign
On the street looking one way
180 degrees and looking the other way
