Plymouth, MN Radio Swap Meet: Part 2

Hello everyone, I am back from my radio adventure at the Plymouth, MN RadioFest 2009 and boy was it fun (although a bit cold at 6am Saturday morning). Surprisingly, I did not purchase anything at the auction Friday evening however, I certainly made up for it at the swap meet on Saturday morning. I ended up aquiring 3 vintage hifi vacuum tube receivers, a Sansui 1000A, a Sansui 1000 (with the original manual), and a Harman-Kardon tube receiver. In addition, I picked up a number of nice globe output tubes including 4 type 45 tubes, a nice RCA 50 tube, and a NOS Cunningham 2A3 tube. To satisfy my antique radio itch, I picked up a couple of unique book radios, which look like books until you open them up, and a gorgeous little Emerson birdseye maple Ingraham cabinet table radio. In addition, I picked up some nice vintage tube PA amps and a vintage Heathkit tube amp. I also picked up a couple of nice Zenith Trans-Oceanic radios (one tube type and one solid-state). Lastly, to round things out a bit, I picked up a Hallicrafters SX-100 HAM radio and speaker, for you HAM collctors out there. You will be able to see (and bid on) many of these items in the coming weeks. If you are interested, just check out my website at http://www.simplyspiritsales.com/ and scroll down to the bottom of the home page where you will see my eBay auctions and can also bid on them from there. Until next time, happy collecting. Peace, Patrick

2009 Plymouth, MN Radio Auction & Swap Meet

Hello everyone, it has been a while since I posted my last blog post and I apologize for that. I am currently on another radio adventure in Plymouth, MN (near St. Paul) and will be attending an antique radio auction tonight (5/15/09) and an outdoor vintage radio swap meet in the morning. I am really looking forward to these events, as always, and plan to update this blog with all of my treasured purchases. Talk to you again soon. Peace, Patrick
