Awesome Birthday Gift.

I just wanted to share my excitement.

My wife bought me the Collectors Guide to Antique Radios.

I absolutely love this book. I was amazed.

I have that book-mine's several editions back, though. Pretty decent reference material.

Does the CD version contain more pictures of the radios that are listed???

The pictures are great in the book, but I'd like to see more.

Out of the 11 radios that I currently have, 4 are pictured in the book.

I'd like to look through more pictures, and see if I can find radios that I "used to" have, but no longer own... or maybe I shouldn't... it would just make me depressed.

At any rate, I am fortunate that my wife supports my hobby. We each have very unique tastes and hobbies. Her main hobby is making .999 silver jewelery using a material called PMC (Precious Metal Clay.) It was a development of Mitsubishi for some reason. You can mold, sculpt, or stamp something in the clay, fire it, polish it, and you have a piece of silver in that image that is .999 pure.

It's awesome.

Thanks again,

MK
