Collector's Guide To Antique Radios 6th Edition

Thousands of individuals all over the world are enchanted with the hobby of antique radios. During the golden age of radio (1920s - 1950s) millions of radios were produced in the United States by hundreds of companies. Radio manufacturers such as RCA, Philco, Zenith, GE, Stromberg-Carlson, and many others were once among the largest firms in the country. The rad ios that they built had a quality of materials and construction techniques that simply don't exist in today's consumer electronics. Although the vast majority of these radios and their manufacturers have long since vanished, many of the sets produced during the golden age of radio do still exist. To the antique radio enthusiast, nothing quite compares to finding a classic radio at a flea market, garage sale, antique shop, or even Grandpa's attic. Often, with just the right dose of tender loving care, these radios can be restored to their original warm sound and visual elegance.
