Does anyone else collect SS AC table radios from the '60's/'70's?
It's funny how things change concerning our collecting interest. Back when I started collecting radios, at the age of 12, in 1989; I wouldn't give a '60's/'70's solid state table radio a second look. The ones that people gave me usually ended up being junked or given to someone else. Back then, those types of radios were everywhere.
Over the last few years, I've started taking a liking to these sets (especially ones from the '60's and early '70's). Now, I find that even the solid state table radios from this time period are not showing up much and when they do show up, they are either beat to heck or they are overpriced. This morning, I was at the fleam market and picked up a Philco-Ford AM/FM table set from '66 that was made in Taiwan for $5. It only needed it's controls cleaned and it's actually not a bad sounding radio. Here's a video I made of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loU9E8-4iU0 So, does anyone else collect this era of radios?
