A lot of cool stuff there Bob. What did you bring home? Saw what My1925World on YT got there. All very nice stuff. Seen a stack of booklet courses on radios ( WWII era National Radio Institute) there on video that my grandfather had a long time ago. Love that seller's shirt at 44:44 in! Gobs of knobs at 48:25 in. Too bad I'm in Chicago ,they need something like this show here.
Sorry lol commented alot on your videos I love hamfest. Just showing support had a chance at goodwill to get an old vintage sw radio. Then the manager found out it was worth 400 dollar's. I didn't buy it
Radios are beautiful but trouble is there is only utter garbage on over the air radio today. Absolutely nothing worth listening to (exception NPR classical). How could one play OTR shows on PC (or some other device) and send them over the air at various frequencies to be picked up, received, and played by one of these would make things interesting? (hopefully legally!!)
There are several things to do. One, if you have a portable Sirius/XM radio with a signal out on the radio you could plug that into the back of a device called a Talking House AM transmitter. Not all Sirius radios have that capability to do that but mine does and it works. Set the Sirius to a station playing your particular channel of your liking , in my case channel 182, the Old Time Radio channel and listen to shows from the past . The Whole House transmits on AM band and you can set it to play on any clear AM frequency. It goes over the air on AM to your old tube radio and just tune it to that frequency. Two, there are some tube radios that are AM and FM receivers so directly you can pick up the Sirius radio if it has been set to transmit on the FM band and set to be received by a headset radio tuned to a clear frequency on the FM band. I take my little Sirius radio to work and listen to it transmitting that way on my headset radio. I listen to Old Time Radio channel at work a lot. There download any Old Time Radio programs into your computer and connect an MP3 player or Bluetooth device to it. Copy the shows to the BT device. All your shows on it can be connected to a radio with a little searching on YT on how to get it connected to your radio but it would be easiest if the radio has a phono input and you make a 3.5 mm jack to RCA plug adapter wire. Your Bluetooth device can be connected to the tube radio directly and you can listen to the shows saved in the BT device. Mister Radio on YT often shows how he does this safely on most of his videos.
Wonderful selection of almost everything electronic. Heaven on Earth for people like me 😆
Love seeing reel to reel and old record players wish i had some.
Somebody was selling cassette new in the box 📦
Thanks for this video. I would love to go to something like this, but live too far away
Hi. If you do a search on ARRL page on ham radio club near me search one that is near you and there it will tell you the hamfest near you.

It's okay no worries. Also comment it's a good thing. And yeah it's always nice to find some vintage radios.
I thought that was you! You walked past me before your camera expired! RW "Got tubes". Take care!
Sorry man. Next time you see me say wassup.
I wonder what my 1929 Zenith floor model with new tubes is worth and the finish on it is beautiful
It was just like being there except I still have money in my pocket!
Lol yes. That’s true.
