Welcome to the Lounge, Ray. And Daizawaguy is right...this place heightens your desire for fedoras. I can't seem to go more than a few months without desiring a new one (or a "new" old one). :eusa_doh:
Still, lots of good info here; you're likely to learn a lot.
I would agree with this. I've used steam from distilled water to shape one of my hats, and have just sprinkled another one with distilled to firm it up a bit. The water trick really does work wonders. You just have to use it sparingly and only wet the spaces you want to shape.
Actually, I used to collect vintage electronics: computers and robots, mainly from the 80's. Over the past four years or so, I have sold some of my collection away: mainly a couple of Macintosh computers from the 80's and 90's, a few 80's portable PC's, and a few robots. I do still have a few...

I guess the elderly lady didn't like listening to the radio much...lol
Seriously though, that's a shame. There's no chance of these types of radios being made again so we should preserve the ones that are out there.
Welcome luxman! Thanks for sharing your hat story with us. Don't worry, you can't go wrong with a hat from Art! Once you get one, there's no turning back!
Be sure to post often. There's a lot to learn here.
He's one of the few fedora sellers on ebay I consistently watch. He does do a very good job. I bought a vintage Resistol stingy brim from him a little over a year ago. If I find another of his hats I like (and I was tempted to bid on the blue Stetson, believe me) I wouldn't have any...
