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.

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.
