How many radios?
#20

Right now I am working on a Motorola 65T21B which also happens to be my first. I chose it because it seemed so wide open under the chassis and because since it probably isn't such a valuable radio so it won't be a tragedy if I screw it up.
I have at least 20 more waiting, plus another 8 or 9 I'll probably just sell and never fix.
I would not have jumped into this so deep except I had an unusual opportunity this winter to get my hands on a lot of radios from a collection that was breaking up at a price I had to go for. I buy and sell things on the side and it just seemed like something too good to pass up. After a while I thought I should learn how to fix them since it looked interesting and I have a little shop anyway. I've always liked old radios, but I never had anyone to get me going or show me anything, but with the internet I have been learning a lot and am really committed to fixing these up. In fact I'm still in the process of buying more.
