Glad to be here!

Hi all,

I don't know whether my story begins 3 or 4 years ago, when I started prowling local Goodwills hunting for vintage electronic treasures, or 40-something years ago when I got my first transistor radio (a Panasonic). In any case, I've been fascinated by anything radio-, audio-, or TV-related for a very long time.

I'm at the stage of collecting where I need to determine what I really want to collect, and thin out the dead wood from my accumulation of "stuff." At the moment, the "collection" includes 4 or 5 portable solid-state b&w tvs; a GE "Wildcat" portable stereo phono; some Walkmen; some boomboxes; too many miscellaneous radios to count, including tube and transistor models and a dozen or so shortwave sets; and of course, a large number of LPs, cassettes, and CDs.

I'll have plenty of questions for those of you who are skilled in repair/restoration, so please be patient with me in the days and weeks to come

Best wishes,
radiodayz
