My wife is into antiques, so finding radios fits with that. Flea markets aren't really a source for me. Antique shows, antique malls, auctions, estate sales, craigslist, ebay, local radio collectors (every collector has something for sale)...in that order. Plus, she knows a lot of other dealers.. once word gets out, radios come to you instead of the other way around. I've probably got 30 radios still waiting to be worked on. I only keep about 6 for myself. Plus, like Ron said.. you are close to Kutztown, which is radio heaven. Print up some cards and give one to every antique dealer you meet... pretty soon, you'll be turning radios down.
