Very nice.
I was just going to ask if they ever made "high end" radios, though I understand that the aim at the time was to make more for less money. I also wondered about consoles from the 1930s, or were they all foreign makes? Do you ever find radios from the 1920s? I am familiar with French and British sets from the 1920s but not others.
Nice to see a great collection from the other side of the world.
I would certainly be interested in an exchange, though I would have to start saving up for postage. Do these radios clear customs OK? Is there a lot of duty (charges for import)? Do they arrive not-smashed?
Pictures of my collection somewhere in the 250+ range on my site below.
