[Boatanchors] Vintage Radios--LOTS

[Nick England]

Well Don got me curious - a quick check for Collins Radio Receiver turned
up 75 hits total - taking away manuals, parts, knobs, etc. left 10
receivers - 7 of those were commercial aircraft units, leaving 3
communications receivers out of 75 hits

Trying Vintage Radio Receiver yielded over 1000 hits - but looking at the
most recent 100 items turned up only 19 tube radios (communications, CB,
and AM broadcast) along with lots of transistor radios, parts, manuals, etc.

On the other hand, Hallicrafters Radio Receiver had 74 real radios out of
the most recent 100 postings.

What does all that mean? I dunno but it is interesting to browse....

Cheers,
