What a beauty!
Thanks. I enjoy sharing the photos and history of these sets. I took an interest in antique radios and TV's when I was about 12 and starting collecting. I have next to nothing from those days, but became a serious collector starting in the 1990's. I have around 150 sets. Mostly radios, several TV's, and a few phonographs. I try to focus on each set when I get one, learn as much as I can with it, make it as nice as I can, and get it working.Hey decojoe67, how many radios you got?
I always enjoy seeing your posts in this thread.
Thank you. I've had a passion for this hobby since I was about age 12. I love things from the 1920's-1960's, but the 1930's the most.It’s an impressive display all around, decojoe67. It’s people like you who keep this place vital and steer it back to its “Golden Era” focus.
Thank you Tony. I searched for a nice one of these because I believe this might be the model my father mentioned he had as a kid in the '40's. For the collector who likes these late '30's-'40's cloth portables, they're the greatest bargain out there. Even paying a top retail price, you can get an excellent typical one for $50-$60. Occasionally a unique model will bring over $100.^^^^^
Quite the find.
