very nice gathering, how long have you been at it? and welcome; this is an interesting and fun place.

Welcome to AK! :thmbsp:
That's an interesting collection you have there, with some neat-looking pieces. There are a few other transistor radio collectors here; you'll fit right in and find 'fellow souls' to share notes and finds and info with. I briefly started collecting those, myself, but decided to stop when I realized that I was just collecting way too much audio stuff, and something had to be given up. Still have a soft spot for them, though, especially the Hong Kong ones! :D Where are you located?

You might wish to post an introduction in the "Introductions" forum, too, where more people are likely to see it.

Wow....We need to get you into TVs.....(grin)

Nice collection! :yes:

michaeljpro 07-23-2009 08:42 AM

Thanks folks. I will post in the introduction section as well.....good idea.
I am located about one hour north of Toronto.
I have been collecting radios for the past twelve years. I started with 1930's tube radios and made the switch to pocket-sized solid state when I began to run out of room about seven years ago.

As for TV's, I just bought my first last week. A Sony 5-303W mini. That'll be it though :)

Sandy G 07-23-2009 08:53 AM

You just THINK "That'll be it, though"....One day, when you least expect it, one o' them 1.5" Panasonics from the Eighties will latch on to you in a Shoppe De Junque' somewhere, or one of the 6" Singer/Misubishi sets will start callin' yer name, & before you know it, you'll be the Proud Daddy of a WHOLE BUNCH of th' Damthings...Mbwahahahahahaha...

All I can say is WOW, what an incredible collection!!! Very nicely presented. Welcome.

Thanks! I think I'm going to like this forum, everyone seems very nice.
Glad you all appreciate my collection. I usually ad a few new radios every two weeks. This weekend I will be adding a few more Sony radios and a Zenith.

michaeljpro 07-26-2009 08:34 PM

As promised, more radios have been added this weekend.
