DON'T JUNK THAT OLD RADIO
Antique Radios are not becoming more plentiful. However, some of the restoration efforts I have seen in Antique Radio equipment contests are nothing short of heroic. Many of the nicest radios in my collection started out as basket cases deemed hopeless by some collectors. You will be amazed at what you can do with "junk" if you put in enough time and effort. Check out the page How I Restore Antique Radios for some restoration tips. If you have a radio that is not worth your time to restore, or if it seems just too horrible to restore, take it to the nearest Antique Radio swap meet and sell it (or give it away if you have to) to someone who will restore it. I have put together a little collection of before and after pictures to whet your appetite for radio restoration. Enjoy them!
