Barn Fresh 90 Highboy
#7

PhilcoPhil

Funny you should make that remark about an old radio being an "old friend"...I sometimes catch myself referring to my collection as "my friends." Icon_smile

Reminds me of a comment Edward G. Robinson once made about his art collection:

"Late at night, ...I go into my living room and sit down among these quiet friends, and we study each other very gravely, and I hope with mutual pleasure."

(as quoted in Newsweek, April 16, 1973 - from the book Edward G. Robinson by Foster Hirsch, ©1975 Pyramid Communications, Inc.)
