In the mid 1970's, my parents brought me a small bakelite tube RCA radio, and I was hooked from that moment-on with collecting radios and "odd" electronics.  Some of my favorites are posted here for you to enjoy as well! Radios by Sparton Electronics of Jackson, MI are of particular interest to me. 

Other than (my favorite internet hangout) "Ebay"; a GREAT site for radio collectors who wish to trade information, buy, sell, and fix vintage radio equipment can be found at  "Antique Radio Un-classified Ads", and it's also a good start for collectors who are new to vintage radio collecting.  You'll find more great links by clicking on
"Radio Collecting Links"  above! While I try to keep track of dead links, please let me know
If a link is not what it should be, or is inoperative.

Many of the radios in my collection now reside in Ionia, Michigan at my radio station, WION-AM.
