Hello Philco Phorum
#5

Thanks for the advice OldRestorer but it's too late. I caught the bug years ago and I don't think you can have many radios! Icon_crazy

My first one was an old GE am/fm shortwave that I got for Christmas back in the 60's. I got back into the antique/vintage radio phase several years ago and have collected some modern ones like the Sangean 803A and it's step brother the Realistic DX-440, a bit older ones like the Zenith G-500's and H500's, and a monster Hallicrafters SX-28A to name a few. I can definitely see myself going overboard here!

But this one is the oldest and coolest (SX-28A being a close second) and is more like a fine piece of furniture than a radio. When I brought it home I actually snuck it around back and into the basement so the Mrs wouldn't see it. When she finally noticed it she said, "Oh, looks nice". Took me five minutes to wipe the smile off my face. Icon_mrgreen

Thanks for the welcome TA Forbes and skyscraper!
