17? 28? 60? Reading that, it seems to me a little crazy that anyone would have that many sets. So now I'm getting worried: I've always told people that I have around 200 sets. But I actually lost count a long time ago. It might be a few less than that, but it could easily be more. That includes big ones (TRK 120, DuMont RA113, a few CTC roundies, etc.) plus a passle of medium sized ones (630s and 630 wannabees, too many 721s) a gaggle of smaller ones (all those cute little 7" electrostatics), and a whole bunch of teeny tiny ones (Sony 5-303s, Watchman sets and Panasonic 1".) I even scrapped three sets this year that I finally gave up on as past-all-hope-of-ever-being-restorable. That's the first time I ever did that. But then I probably added at least three more to replace them. Hmmm... It may be time for an inventory. Or perhaps an intervention.

My somewhat rough count right now is "only" 95. This is after selling 6 or 8 sets over the last couple months. I'd type up the list if you dared me!

Well , , I guess im the forum's minimalist , , , , Ive got one , , yeppers , , just one , antique TV ...... Its a 1950s olympic that lives in the model airplane room , and before the end of broadcast TV it used to be a daily runner for something to listen to while I worked on my RC planes ......

Now , antique radios are another story all together ...... they occupy just about my entire house !!!!

Hi M3-SRT8 ,

Yea , its funny how many of us Massachusetts guys are into the same hobbys . For me , Its been everything from Lionel trains , RC planes , Antique cars , and just about anything built with Vaccum tube technology ... My age no longer allows the restoration of old cars anymore , and thats one reason I really like the RC planes and smallish tube radios , theyre much easier for this old retiree to keep running ..

Nice Plane , btw

I'll leave you with a horrible photo of the only Straight 8 I've ever owned . It was a 53 Buick special with only 45000 miles on it when I owned it (almost 30 years ago) ..... It was the proverbial "little old lady's car that only went to church on sundays" , and was in way better shape than the photo portrays (that rust on the front bumper was the ONLY rust anywhere on the car !!! )
