Took the words right out of my mouth. You'll enjoy the MAARC publication "Radio Age" and there are local meets too.
I carried a 1925 Metropolitan Vickers floor model back with me, some years ago (and I wasn't even charged for excess baggage, though the set was too large to fit on the check-in scale, but those days are probably gone). I can't even imagine getting a big Philco back across the pond, but then, I know someone who shipped a multi-ton pipe organ over, and now has it set up in his house. Of course he's daft. (I have a pipe organ installed here myself. Pot, kettle, and so on.)
