I am collecting for two different reasons...

One, I'd like to have one of everything that I ever had back in the day. So far, the only one I am missing is a Wards Gen-719 ... a 40 channel SSB from Montgomery Wards. My first was a JC Penney (6213) Pinto 23 Channel. I don't have the original but I have one in decent shape. I'd also like to have a Boman CBH-990 if I ever run into one.

The second reason, is to have something to do in retirement. I am picking up hulks anywhere I can... work or not.... doesn't matter. When I hit that time... if they work I will clean them up and align them. If they don't ... I will fix them... THEN clean them up and align them. I guess... I just want to cause "grins and conversations" between my kids when I kick the bucket and they have to clean my stuff out of where-ever I was!!!!!!

But I do have a fondness for old radios.

[QUOTE="guitar_199, post: 844705, member: 18156"] I am collecting for two different reasons... One, I'd like to have one of everything that I ever had back in the day. So far, the only one I am missing is a Wards Gen-719 ... a 40 channel SSB from Montgomery Wards. My first was a JC Penney (6213) Pinto 23 Channel. I don't have the original but I have one in decent shape. I'd also like to have a Boman CBH-990 if I ever run into one. The second reason, is to have something to do in retirement. I am picking up hulks anywhere I can... work or not.... doesn't matter. When I hit that time... if they work I will clean them up and align them. If they don't ... I will fix them... THEN clean them up and align them. I guess... I just want to cause "grins and conversations" between my kids when I kick the bucket and they have to clean my stuff out of where-ever I was!!!!!!
