Does it work?
Often we are asked in regard to our collection of radios, electronics, and other items, "Does it work?" Especially when it comes to old radios, most collectors will say—it's all about the design and condition. We collect items based on their aesthetic and quality of design. We don't know how to repair tube radios and don't want to damage them. With countless radios on our shelves, we could never use them all, therefore, we don't care if it works or doesn't.
What we buy:
We are very selective and picky. If you think you have an item we might want to buy, email first with a detailed description and photos. In most cases, we prefer to purchase from Ebay or Live Auctioneer where we have buyer protections but will consider other means for very special items. Perhaps most important, beyond the item itself, is safe shipping. We can't express how disappointed we have been to receive a once beautiful, rare item in shatters. We are happy to offer best-shipping practices when we purchase, and of course, always insure to protect us both from irreplaceable loss.
