I would like to post a sticky of antique radio links. Service, parts, schematics, pics or info is cool plus maybe a short comment. Please no sales only links.
Oh, and please make sure your link is not already posted.
thanks:)

The links on my site are a mix of old radio, tube audio, and a few guitar amp sites. I am slowly adding some reference material myself, but for now, plenty of links.

Anybody have any antique car radio links. I have a guy who wants me to clean and restore a couple of 49 Chrysler car radios and an original De Soto speaker.

Here is an old radio website that is among my favorites:

http://www.radiophile.com/index.html

Yes, it's just another collection of antique radios, but it is done exceptionally well. Rare and interesting makes and models, excellent pictures, and fun and informative narratives, make this one of the best. One can spend hours just browsing the many categories. (WARNING: Difficult to spend much time here without severe jealousy pangs!)

This is the website - Museum of French Vintage Radios - which is the personal collection of J.C Verdier, the inventor of the famous Verdier Platine magnetic suspended platter Turntable.

Hi All,

A huge database with photos, schematics and troubleshooting tips can be found at:
www.radiomuseum.org
Most of the website is in German but there is also a large English section.

Jos

There is a place in Orange County, CA. that has, get this, the world's largest collection of antique radios (all in working condition), classic cars (all in showroom condition), antique telephones and microphones and slot machines.
Go to www.astorclassics.com and check it out.

He has turned it all into an events center for people to rent out for events like wedding receptions and big parties. I have been there for an event. It is UNBELIEVABLE.

Not as comprehensive as I would like but here is a link to my Radio collection which also includes my audio pieces. Not all was mine as a large collector in NC assembled most of the radios (which I later purchased) but some nice pieces nonetheless. I should label all of the pics but never got around to it.

Good golly, man, you have about all I've ever thought of collecting, both in old radios and audio gear.

Some collection indeed! Mazeltov, you got it all.

Not really. Remember this saying, grasshopper?

"If I save the whales, where do I keep them?"

I had posted a list in another discussion (McMurdo Silver II post) of all that is shown in the pics but didn't want to duplicate unless you folks have any interest.

Barry

As always Barry--a stunning collection. I just love radios.

www.renovatedradios.com

Rubber grommets and washers, plastic knobs, clock radio knobs, scans of radio magazines, study courses, renovated radios for sale, and now the mask for the Moto VT-71, VT-73.

This is my favorite. Lots of good help and info there too.

This is a link from the first one that has some AK's and others:

I know of a few guys who have small businesses or cottage industries. You can try these for knobs:

Mark Oppat, Antique Audio, [email protected]
Parts, tubes, inexpensive caps

Dave Frush, [email protected]

Mike Koste, Gobs of Knobs, [email protected]

Play Things of Past, http://oldradioparts.com/
See the How to Order page
Many transformers, speakers and other parts

You will want to send a jpg closeup of the knob, plus measurements (helps to put a ruler by the knob in the pic), AND the type of shaft - flatted, round, slotted, etc. - PLUS the radio make and model.

I had a contact in Europe looking for a Philips knob:

Frag'Jan Zuerst -----Ask Jan First(R)

Phone: +49-4882-6054551 Fax : +49-4882-6054552
<http://www.die-wuestens.de> (Deutsch, English, Francais)
mail to <[email protected]>

This was in 2006. I did buy 2 knobs from him at a very reasonable price and he was very helpful.

One thing I would encourage you to do with these small businesses is to give as much info as possible in the first call or email. These guys have to put a lot of labor time into inquiries on top of inventory and parts salvaging. Trading 8 emails to get your info, then finding you aren't going to buy the item, really hurts them. They do desperately want to see radios put back together or they wouldn't be in business, so help them to help you.

For people in or around Michigan there is the Michigan Antique Radio Club (M.A.R.C.) they have 4 swap meets per year. The one in July held in Lansing is huge 2 day event, lots of parts, tubes, knobs, and projects cheap! The only issue I have found is that it is outside so check the weather, if it is raining everyone covers up their stuff and it’s all over until the rain stops.

The West-Germans used a lot of stupid tubes on theyr radios... That's why you shouldda be carefoull when you buy one: you may find it in good condition, but you may not find replacement tubes

The most comprehensive site for FM-only radios is the site belonging to Andrew Mitz:

http://www.somerset.net/arm/fm_only.html

Another good one with a number of pictures and restoration stories is

http://www.sparkbench.com/

He has a homebrew section linked on his first page that shows restored 1920's stuff such as an Ultradyne (and he shows the same schematic as mine).

And for all of us who collect Philco:

http://www.radiodoctor.org/cr-info.html this a good site for any auto radio.
Capbuster,

Check out this site for "Lots of parts/etc." Also has Howard Sams available- originals and an easy site to navigate around on. Mostly radio related but other neat stuff too. He's an excellant source that I've used on occasion. Prompt service,replys and fair pricing!

http://www.vintage-electronics.com/

here is a link to our site where we try to sell radios
http://www.wavesllc.com
We also have a shop full of stuff in NYC

http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/oldradio/
Rider service info Volumes 1-23 with index.
Some of the pages I looked at in Volume 2 were of poor copies--barely legible, but others may be better.

www.ricksantiqueradios.com is my site which is service oriented. It also pictures many sets from my personal collection and a short bio of how I became interested in the hobby.

"Graetz" and some "Stren Radio Rochiltz": http://www.del-service.de/graetz_radio.htm

http://www.oldradiosrus.com/build.html

Some restoration ideas here, the shop has been around since 1991.

I've been asked a few times by members of our sister forum audio Kharma for Antique Radio links I've collected quite a few over the years so I will post them here for all of us and point the interested AK members here.
EDIT:some of these links are very old ....in world wide web years anyway but most should be good .
