Antique Radios

Everything about antique radios: restoration, cool finds, wondering how much that radio you found in your great-uncle's barn is worth (hint: probably not much more than sentimental value). Tube-driven preferred, but not required.

Televisions welcome as well!

Your radio community just popped up in my feed and I thought you guys might enjoy a pic of my family's old radio. His Master's Voice brand. From North Coast NSW, Australia.

Got this a while back, would love to get her working one day! A television restoration is very similar to a radio, but has a lot more components than some AA5 job

Quick restoration for a Christmas present for my brother-in-law several years ago. Pretty straightforward restoration! Did a recap, lubed and unstuck the clock, maybe replaced a tube? It's been a while so I can't remember.

Overall, this was one of my favorite end results and wasn't overly difficult to do, all things considered!
