Ah! So you're one of us! - HAHA. Yes, I too love old radios. The sets, the shows, and the history. When I was a kid, I walked into an old radio and TV repair shop with my father that was filled with antique radios from floor to ceiling. I instantly became fascinated with them. 40 years later I'm still fascinated and have 175 or so of them. I have them all working and love to listen to old radio shows on them very often. A unique experience that's line time travel. By the way, the coin-op radios were usually a quarter for an hour. Plenty of time for any radio show. They appeared from about 1948, but TV in hotel rooms took over within a few years. Also radio, such as Bakelite's, have a very wide range of prices. It all depends on the rarity and styling. The majority are of moderate value, $75-$150, but the rare one's can go into the $1K area and above.
I’ve had several antique radios over the years. When I lived in northern Indiana I had a 1935 Zenith console that played beautifully. On Saturday afternoons a local station on am of course played radio classics. It was great hearing old radio programs on a antique radio.
Love old radios but as you mentioned they are expensive I went the reproduction radio path in the 80’s and 90’s and 00’s Crosley, Thomas, Spirit of St Louis and now Victrola. Your video caught my eye so cool.
Have it, have it, want it, have it, have it, need it, ... I have about 80 radios, 20 stereos and 15 TVs. Nothing like this, and laid out real nice. Hope that is not a rental storage unit!
It was in August 2021 and I think I heard someone say that it was the third and last in a series of sales. Brownsville, Oregon....or somewhere near there.
About the fans... Some people DID lose fingers, which is why the fans now have the guards that they do. In the old days, though, people were supposed to have some common sense, and if they did something which displayed a lack of common sense, we all would just laugh at them, and so learn not to do stupid things. Perhaps this is why common sense is a rare commodity today. Like a friend of mine said, "I don't want to kill stupid people. I just advocate removing all the warning labels and let nature take its course."
Thank you my husband really enjoyed your video!!! 💛🌹💛
A friend of mine owns an old RCA tv shop with a huge collection of vintage tvs
I love the narration and yes I’m in the same awe LOL!!! 😮😅🎉
I still can't get over the feeling of that place. I know they're just radios, but it had such a sense of history to it.

Love old radio shows could listen all day long to them instead of the drivel they have on tv and radio now 👍🏻‼️

Looks like my collection, but mine is smaller. Listen to 900AM, at night CHML to the old time radio shows.
As an antique radio collector this is a dream.
