Location: Vieques,PR 00765 USA. Dunno if this counts as a boatanchor or transistor radio for the purpose of my question. Call it a transistorized boatanchor! Picked one up today at what I thought was a good price ($120) but I think it may have some issues. The owner left me with two of these for repair, the one pictured here and a scruffier example for spares. Overall condition isn't too bad, with all knobs, back and trim etc complete. Given the complexity of this chassis (see 'Other stuff' below) I was glad to see a copy the Grundig service manual accompanying them.

Dave's Antique Radio & TV Restorations | tubesandtransistorsandmore.com | Liverpool, NY
I restore Antique Radios, Antique Automotive Radios, Antique TVs, and Antique Musical Instrument Amplifiers (guitar amps). Generally speaking, I think of antique electronics as containing electron tubes, also known as valves. An antique type collectable is also defined as being over 25 years old. So an antique radio can contain transistors, which started to appear as early as 1954. Except for the picture tube, many TVs were fully transistorized by the early 1970s. Many people prefer the sound of tubes to transistors in an amplifier. They give a richer warmer sound. So tubes are still being used today in guitar and high end audio amplifiers.

I collect, repair, refinish, restore, and sell tabletop, tombstone, and cathedral, antique radios from the 1930's through the 1950's.
I remember 'watching' a large console radio as a kid—listening to Fibber McGee and Molly, Jack Benny, Burns & Allen, Tom Mix, and many more. Gone is the Golden Age of Radio, but many of the old radios are still here thanks to dedicated individuals who rescue, collect, repair and restore these gems of the past.
I am partial to Philco's. My father worked at the Sandusky, Ohio plant from 1950 until it closed in 1963. I worked there in the summer of 1961. I am a 1966 graduate of Valprariso Technical Institute with a diploma in Electronic Technology.

Have you ever purchased an antique, collectable Bakelite radio and received it in the mail packed loose in a recycled cardboard box - in twenty three pieces?
I've been an old tube radio collector for going on twenty five years, and I know I've smashed a few, and received more than a few smashed in that time. I used to trash the case and be thankful to salvage the knobs, dial glass and tubes..... until the Crosley incident.....
It was a D25..... one of Crosley's most stylish and memorable Bakelite table radios, and it was mine. Alas, this happened a long time ago...before the three hundred dollars-for-one-on- Ebay era...
