[Hallicrafters] Wife's and radio collections

[Larry Young]

Radios, try Spittoons / Cuspidors! I have about 70 about the house. Needless to say, I do the vacuuming and dusting.

35 years married + six before that.

I really feel sorry for the guys that have trouble with their wife and their radios.
I read posts from guys saying my wife says "NO RADIOS IN THE HOUSE".
Or only X number of radios in the house...
WOW is it HER house, our both of your's house?

We just passed our 40th anniversary last month, my wife doesn't love the radios like I do, but she loves me and has said many time that "Ron wouldn't be Ron without his radios".
My radios were part of my life long before I ever met her, I was late for our first date because the car was full of radios and I was dirty from digging around in a basement pulling out parts and such.
I've got nearly well over 500 radios, plus many, many associated items, plus over 600 tubes in my tube collection on display.
My main display room is a converted 2 car garage that holds the main radio and tube collection but there are also radios in the foyer, there's a GE grandfather clock in one corner of the livingroom, there's a Atwater Kent grandfather clock radio in one corner of the dining room, there are 4 radios in the den, even one in the kitchen.
I have radios in the next to the biggest of the four bedrooms upstairs that's my hamshack office plus display space for my vintage amateur radio collection, my vintage CB radio collection, my Clough-Brengle test equipment collection. The smallest of the bedrooms is my library, part of my transistor radio collection, my camera collection and my Apollo 11 collection.
I've got a detached 2 car garage that's never had a car parked in it that workshop and parts storage.

I wish every radio guy was a lucky to find someone as I was with Belinda. 

If you'd like to see the collections there are links below to my web page.

Knee-deep in the cosmic overwhelm, I’m stricken by the ricochet wonder of it all: the plain

everythingness of everything, in cahoots with the everythingness of everything else.
