Description

Since 1974, at the ripe old age of 14, I have been interested in antique radios. James A. Fred's "Antique Radio Corner," a regular column in the old Elementary Electronics magazine, served as my introduction to the hobby. I graduated from National Radio Institute (NRI) in 1984 with a diploma in Radio-TV Servicing. (Unfortunately, NRI, which had been around since the early days of radio, went out of business in 2002.) I immediately put my new diploma to work as a sideline business, repairing televisions and radios when I was not on the air, working at the local radio station as an on-air person, producer and technician. Unfortunately, the inner workings of televisions soon became miniaturized to the point that they could no longer be serviced profitably, and I gave up this sideline - for awhile.

in its early years, I decided that I, too, could write articles - and did so for a number of years. These articles became a sort of training ground for what was to come next.

In 1990, I decided to move away from the 1920s battery sets I had been collecting, in order to concentrate my collecting activities on Philco radios exclusively. The word soon spread, and whenever I attended a radio swap meet, I was often greeted with "Here comes Mister Philco!" The name stuck, and as you now know, the title was not self-anointed.
