Estes Radio Museum Auction

It has been almost a month since my last vintage radio related trip and I was starting to get a bit anxious so I have braved the cold weather and decided to attend the Estes antique radio auction tomorrow (1/17/09). This particular auction consists of items from an antique radio museum in Indiana, in addition to many other items. I arrived in Burbank, OH this afternoon (1/16/09) in order to take a look at all of the items and, I have to say, the selection of quality vintage electronics is simply amazing. From vintage ribbon microphones, to old HAM gear, to gorgeous wood table and console radios, to tube hifi gear, to high end vacuum tubes themselves, this particular auction will be one to remember. One of these trips, I will take some photos of the event and publish them online as well however, for this auction, be sure to take a look at my website next week, in order to see some of the items I was able to aquire. If you have forgotten, my website can be found at http://www.simplyspiritsales.com/. Once you get to my website, just scroll down to near the bottom of the home page and then scroll through the items I have have listed online. I am sure it will be hard for me to ge to sleep tonight knowing what treasures await me in the morning. This is almost as exciting as Christmas morning use to be when "Santa" would magically arrive with wonderful presants for all. Anyway, after this auction, I will be attending a local radio swap meet in Milwaukee, WI on January 25. I will talk to you again soon. Peace, Patrick
