non-high end collectables, radios..etc.

You know, I never in my life thought I would say this, but I think I miss Bo1972.  Life is funny sometimes.

I restored an old table-top tube radio that was from around the 1930’s, beautiful wood cabinet. Lots of fun to show off and play, but eventually sold it to a collector as it become a dust collector. Did sound nice. 

I want one for my home office but don't really have the room to justify it.

When someone see's the brand Crosley or a few others today, it's just a name.

Here is where those companies made their craft when plastic and transistors are weren't in use yet. Wood, metal and bakelite.

Beautiful Art Deco pieces.

I own four tabletop radios from the late thirties. It’s amazing that these 80+ year old radios still work fine. And they all have the original tubes! If you take a gander at my system you will see my favorite which is  black dial Zenith circa 1938!

yogi,  Thank you for sharing.  When we can trust to share, there is much good to be gained/learned.  My sons generation seems to be a bit devoid of the feeling of community and sharing.
