Please let me introduce myself.

My name is Frank & I live in Olympia, in the state of Washington, USA. (The Washington on the West coast, (Not the State of Confusion on the East coast).

I have been a member of the Antique Radio Forums, the UK antique radio site, Audio & Video Karma, and a few others for several years now.

I am currently licensed as Ham Radio operator for about 35+ years now and held a ZL call for a while while I was touring NZ. I enjoy working CW.

I have over 45 years in the electronics repair business here in the USA, covering consumer and industrial electronics. I had my own electronics contracting business for over 20 years.

Currently I am a member of the Tube Collectors Association, (TCA) and also collect tube boxes.

The antique radio collection I have contains over 100 radios ranging from crystal radios, & early battery sets to solid state; and I also have a few early B&W TV sets, as well as a round screen colour set.

My beloved was killed on the 23rd of Novenber, 2013 in a horrible accident. I miss her SO very much.
We were planning to be married next year.

G'day Frank and welcome to the Australian forums. I'm sorry to hear about your lady friend and I guess I must consider myself fortunate that I have not suffered a similar experience.

If you'd like some photos of your collection included in your post (the round screen coloured telly sounds interesting) please feel free to e-mail them to me and I will upload them to the server for you, or alternatively if you already have photos on an image hosting service like Photobucket then please feel free to link to them.

Welcome, Frank.

We have at least 2 other active members from the USA on here.
