I have joined up mainly to get some insight on some old brochures, catalogues, magazines and radio valves (I think thats what they are) that belonged to my father. He was an avid collector of many things (hoarder). They have been sitting in a cupboard for some years and now need to leave.

Hi Angela,

It would help if you could list, or at least categorize in more detail, the printed material. For example, the titles of the magazines and the range of years, etc.

A member here may be interested in the valves, if not then the "valve bank" at the Historical Radio Society's VIC branch might take them off your hands: (03) 9539 1117

G'day Angela,

Welcome to the forums. If you are able to provide some photos of what is available I can upload them to your post. Just e-mail them to me at the address on my profile page (click my username to get there).
