About the Site

This site is designed primarily as a reference source for vintage radios. Careful attention is given to the preparation of the photograhic images for accurate representation of color and other radio details. Each radio featured has a detailed description with antidotal comments. If you have other useful information relating to any radio contained in this site, I would appreciate your contribution.
I have also included a vintage radio For Sale section. Over the last three years, I have sucessfully sold several hundred vintage radios on Ebay under the ID# bill320sl and most recently, oldradiocrazy. Now, I look forward to selling vintage radios through this site as well.

About the Collection

The central focus of my vintage radio collection is high-end wood radios from the 1930s-1940s. You will quickly see that I have a particular interest in Zenith and Emerson "Ingraham cabinet" models. However, like most collectors, I occasionally deviate from my main focus and buy some bakelites or that special German radio. To maintain a high quality collection, I give special attention to aquiring very desirable pieces that, for the most part, are complete and in excellent condition. I have a good sized radio display area, but space is always at a premium and each new radio must earn its spot!

In addition to offering vintage radios for sale, I have also included a Zenith parts offering in the For Sale section. For the convenience of radio collectors looking for fine quality vintage parts to complete their Zenith projects, this section is a source of those hard to locate original parts. So, take a look and see if there is something you need.

About the Photograghy

One of the many pleasures of vintage radio collecting is to share information and photographs of your radios with other collectors. I am an amatuer photographer at best. I find that although it is important to have a good digital camera, the quality of production photography is dependent on a good light source and a simple background. Natural (Sunlight) is the ultimate light source for picture taking, but in its absence, a combination of direct and diffused halogen lighting will go a long way to produce a excellent photographic outcome. Presented below is the photography equipment used to take the pictures for this web site.
