Eric Adams, United States of America (USA) - Radio collection

Below you find a part of the radio collection Eric Adams - including other related items. I first got interested in radios watching my grandfather tinker. To me he could fix anything. When I took my first electronics course in high school, we were still learning about tubes. I went in a different direction for a career but in 2012 after retiring I decided to start restoring tube radios as a hobby. I am one of those collectors who have to do it all. I will do both the electronics and any kind of cabinet work that is needed. I specialize in radios from 1930 to 1950. I love the idea of starting with something that doesn’t work and ending up with something that looks and sounds like new. So far I have restored close to 100 radios. To me, the fun is the restoration. I am a member of The Antique Radio Club of Illinois,The Philco Phorum and active on ARF.
