2. I've had a General Electric radio from the 60s for years and still use that thing. Quality classic sound
3. I love that little white bake light at 1:07
4. Great video, I did a mini history of Hacker radio if you're a fan of those.
5. I bought an old tube radio from an antique shop a few years ago and use it every morning while I get ready for work to listen to local news and weather. It's not just a decorative item, it's still a useful radio.
6. never give up i am like you .. keep them playing
7. I have a Philco 37-630, the board number is r33794. It worked great in the store. We got it home and now it just has the old familiar hum. All tubes are lighted. No odors or anything. All three bands are silent.  This was a gift to my 83 year old mother. Needless to say its quite important to get back running. Any suggestions? We are located in florida. jinxed231@yahoo.com.
8. my favorite tube radio has to be the round ekco
9. Allen, I could not have said it any better myself. Your words gave me chills. This is exactly how I feel about my litter of old tube radios. Thank you for saying it the way I always wanted to and for saving history .
10. I started collecting 7 years ago when I was 7 and I now have 113!
11. Do he have a Kurer radio?
12. i have a 1920 radio i am going to fix
13. Enjoyable vid. I've had the "vintage radio bug" since I was a kid. I love the look and sound of these old sets. With todays technology you can listen to anything you wish on them including period shows and music. It's a trip back in time and lot of fun!
14. Very interesting comments. It is enjoyable to see a collector who has both passion and understanding for tube radios. You do a great job of putting them in historical perspective.
15. That's fantastic! Like that radio collection.
16. I was working on those when he was born.
17. many people have no idea how wonderful vacuum tubes sound...even AM in mono radio sounds incredibly deep and rich on a vacuum tube console radio..or even a small table top ....My DVD/TV/VCR etc all go into a vacuum tube amplifier and the sound is out of this world especially for movie music soundtracks ,incredibly rich warm bass frequencies and silky highs... ......and believe me radio is alive and well..... and every night I listen to old radio shows that are played nightly here in Ontario ...like "The Whistler" "Suspense" The Key" ,Inner Sanctum" etc etc... It is great to listen to these shows in the dark especially if the radio has a lighted dial....You can also get low power AM transmitters and actually transmit radio shows /music etc from another source to the radio in another room .... and also believe me I hear Morse code on shortwave all the time...... and interesting music all the time on shortwave coming from India ,China etc or Cuba (Radio Havana) Shortwave is an experience the way it seems to "phase shift" like a wind sound and makes music sound really neat ..........Lately there seems to be people taking radio consoles and removing the vacuum tube chassis (not "the guts" I hate that) .........and turning the cabinet into a bar liquor cabinet etc........or placing a solid state amplifier inside.......really disgusts me...... And there are a zillion videos on Yotube,..... books.... and online
    antique radio forums on how to repair and restore them....
18. Didn't all the radio signals go digital?
