A Word About Antique Radios


If you have ever listened to a vintage tube radio before, you can easily tell that something is missing from our modern counter parts. The warm and rich sound and sense of nostalgia that comes from an old 1950's tube radio just fulfills a niche that's been forever lost with modern digital sound equipment. Today's radios and devices play artificially generated digital sound originating from audio signals that are transformed into a series of pulses that correspond to patterns of binary digits like 0's and 1's...What?? 

The radios that you find at Old Radio Garage all produce the rich, warm, analog sound that only comes from transmitting music and voice broadcasts through good old fashioned vacuum tubes. Everything becomes more romantic, more nostalgic, and more "real" with antique radios. They've been a staple of the American household for decades and for good reason; they have been able to capture the hearts and imagination of a generation. 


For this reason, many people, including myself, enjoy the nostalgia and romanticism of these objects.  I love antique radios and have been collecting them for over 30 years.  Over my many years of collecting and restoring radios, I have come to truly love and care for these works of art, and as such try to preserve as much of the original piece as possible. With me, it's ALL about the details!  Everything on my radios, from it's finish, its design, its sound, even its decades old patina, is kept as close to original as physically possible. Otherwise, you simply can't call it an antique!
