non-high end collectables, radios..etc.

Perhaps some of you/us have audio related collections that are not

high-end. bit still related fun? I do.

Not as much today, but at one time I had a collection of older, tube console radios

from the 40s and 50s....and stupidly sold them. Some of those monsters had

a wonderful, perhaps somewhat mellow, sound and many looked the part...like

some wonderful old cars. And, like old cars, some were just very cool looking

in a Cary Grant kind of way.

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. http://qualityantiqueradios.com/

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!

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.
