If you're keeping your radios inside a storage building that is not climate controlled - in other words, it gets cold and damp when it is cold and damp outside, and hot when it is hot outside - you won't have a collection after a few years.

The fix is obvious - get those radios in a dry place where the temperature is kept at a fairly steady level.
