Farmington Hills, MI Antique Radio Swap Meet

It looks like I will be attending the Farmington Hills, MI radio show this Saturday (1/31/09) and the weather appears to be cooperating with my plans. It should take me approximately 6-hours to drive to this event and I plan to stay nearby in Southfield, MI the night before. This particular vintage radio event is held indoors, obviously due to the weather in Michigan this time of year however, although many indoor antique radio events are relatively small, the ones in Michigan seem to be fairly large in size. I am looking forward to going to a good-sized radio swap meet since most of the recent events I have attended so far this winter have been either smaller indoor radio shows or Estes radio auctions. It will be nice to roam around all the wonderful treasures at my leisure on Saturday without having to sit for up to 6-hours, as is the case at many radio auctions. I look forward to hopefully purchasing some vintage tube hifi gear in addition to possibly finding some old Western Electric vacuum tubes. All-in-all this should be a great trip and I will be sure to update this blog after the event in order to let you all know what treasures I ended up finding. I find that it is best if I do not get too attached to any particular outcome, regarding items I really want to purchase, but rather to have a more general idea as to what I may be interested in purchasing and letting things unfold naturally. Anyway, have a wonderful day and I will be back sooner rather than later to update this blog. Peace, Patrick
