Anyone Collect / Restore Antique Radios?

@richmeyer put an Atwater Kent 37 radio on the exchange shelf. He has the tubes for it you’re interested.
If you’re into collecting / restoring vintage radios and interested, let me know.

Check out our local antique radio club. http://www.vrps.org/ Many very talented individuals!

Also, take a look at The Antique Radio Forum. Antique Radio Forums - The Collector's Resource Go to the Cabinet Restoration discussion and look at the absolute amazing work of Fred Taylor…he is out of Dallas.

I was seen at DMS working on the rebuild of my RCA 816K cabinet. My extreme thanks to DMS Tom Tansey. I needed fabricate new side panels and was only able to do so due to his gracious generosity for the use of his large vacuum press at his framing gallery: Premier Gallery in Flower Mound. My project has been on hold for several months, as I have been recovering from a complete hip replacement. Once I complete the structural woodwork repairs, then I will hand off to Fred Taylor for finishing.

Unfortunately, todays AM airwaves leave something to be desired. No worries. Go to https://www.radiospirits.com/ to purchase vintage radio shows. You then plug your CD player into a simple short-range (10-100 ft or so) transmitter and playback thru your vintage radio. Vintage radios may also have aux inputs!

@kpblitzen42 might be interested - he restores all make and manner of the old and broken (including old and broken spirits)

I would, indeed, be interested in taking a look, and possibly purchasing one or two.
