If I still had all of the radios that went across my workbench and into my shack for a while, my XYL would have left me long ago, since I would have ruined her living room, too
But I enjoyed restoring and borrowing (for a while) each and every one of them. So many great hollow-state ( and some silicon) radios, so little time, and so little space to keep them all.
Out of all of the radios that passed through, I only have 3 left. A GPR-90/GSB-1/GSP-1, a 51J4 (with some adds), and a Drake 2B — a sampling of my all time favorites. Those will eventually have to go, too. I already regret that day. There are so many incredible radios out there that, I fear, the next generations may just toss to the curb as old rusty useless garbage .. maybe because you can't play games on them when the bands are quiet, they require those funky "glass things", they don't appear at the top of Sherwood's list if at all, or no belt clip is available …
