I just recently brought home my Grandfather's old radio, in the hopes of restoring it. I've never really done anything like this before, but I'm really looking forward to it.

I really just wanted to say hi, introduce myself, and let you all know I'll probably be skulking around here in the following months picking up any and all info I can get from you guys.

Thanks a ton for having such a community, and I look forward to getting to know some of you all better as I go about restoring my grandfather's radio.

Thanks
Tony

EDIT: forgot to mention that I'll be bloging about the whole thing here. There's some pictures there for anyone interested.
