Been a while since I've had anything useful to contribute. The
noise level here has become horrendous. Even so, I try DXing from
time to time.
As many of you know, I have been in real estate for years now. I am
selling a home in San Leandro and the owner, who is 86, collected
tube radios. Many of them are console sets from the '30s. I bought
one from him, a Zenith, from 1938. Plays beautifully. AM and SW.
I have it in my living room now. A beautiful piece of furniture and
it's cool to listen to KFRC-1550 on it.
This Saturday, his family are having a garage sale, and the
remaining radios in his collection are up for sale. This will be
the only garage sale, as the house will close escrow next Monday.
So everything will be out of the house by Sunday night.
I am sorry for the short notice, but I'm just the Realtor... and
this is mainly interesting for anyone within driving distance of the
San Francisco area, but if you are interested in seeing them and
maybe purchasing one, this is the time. He's priced them well... I
would buy more but my wife and I came to an understanding of how
much radio stuff I can collect.
If anyone is interested, send me a message. I have some jpgs of the
radios. There are: another big Zenith, a Philco, a GE, a Radiola, a
Stromberg-Carlson, and some table (tombstone-style) radios too. One
is a Philco. I don't remember what the others are.
The sale is this Saturday, from 8 to noon, at 2424 Sitka Street, San
Leandro. I will be there too. Ralph, the owner, may be there if
health permits, and possibly his neighbor, who worked for PG&E (the
electrical utility) as a telecommunications engineer, and restored
most of them, may be there too.
Wish I had more time to devote to club activity. It was a great
experience doing the bulletin from 2001-2003. I hope we find
someone to take over from Phil. We should have a super award for
all of his efforts over the years, seriously!
Thanks!
