I wasn't kidding when I called the radio category of my blog "Radio Lovers Can't be Cured." As Gerald, who has taught me a lot about vintage radios since my blog started 5 years ago, attests:
As I was lazing about watching the S.E.C. baseball tounament this weekend, my wife stood in front of the tv and declared, it's the radios or me! It seems she was a little cramped in our room due to many battery loaded radios that occupied every suitable surface in bedroom.
I hadn't really noticed until I pulled myself off the couch and looked in. Well, there were only 15 or so scattered about! Mostly some of my vintage favorites. I heeded her warning and reluctantly packed away most of them, leaving my Sony ICF-5800 as my bedside buddy and few others standing sentinal and ready!
I'm happy to report to all that she is appeased for now!
Radio lovers,, we're weird.
I've sent a pic of the radios I lugged out of my room.
Thanks, Herc, and I will soon feature some of my radios on your site for your readers with your permission.
Cheers
Gerald

Very nice collection, Gerald. I hope you can figure out a way to keep them all without threatening the marriage :-).

Hi Gerald: If you need a temporary habitat for some of your radio menagerie you can send them to me. I'll tag them as yours, dust them, operate them but remove the batteries during idle periods. When you want them back I'll send them. You've got my word of honor as a Ham. Regards, KE7CYT
