[@northernerinnc3179]

not sure why you need sponsors

[@GuyWithTheDogs]

@@northernerinnc3179 Best guess and most obvious answer: They are willing to write checks made out to the person who is working hard to provide content for this channel. Curiosity Inc. is business, after all.

Wow! The first computer I touched was a TRS 80. 6th grade computer class. It was like I was stepping into the future. Very cool find.

[@echobeefpv8530]

Same here, in 7th grade !! I remember thinking that it was the coolest thing ever. Really old computers like that usually need to be refurbished to work, the old electrolytic capacitors tend to dry up. Same deal with some old radios.

[@arctiknitter]

I just love seeing you working with your children. They are growing up into fine young adults.

[@geraldcampbell6834]

Be carfull with these old tube radios the capacitors can go bad and short out, and in some cases they can catch fire! If you want to deal with old tube radios get a device called a variac, you plug the veriac into the wall and then plug the tube radio in to it, it will limit the current and if there is any issues with the radio it will keep it from sharting and not damage the radio more or start a fire!

[@fallonbea]

I’m so excited about this series! I bought a Trans-Atlantic radio (just like that) at a garage sale for 20$ and it worked. I gave it to a neighbor 😊. I also love vintage radios (everything vintage actually)…that’s what I decorate my home with. Look forward to seeing everything ‼️

[@TheMeloettaful]

Thinking about putting in a bid for one of those radios 📻😁?

[@richwhitaker1506]

What a great haul, Alexander. And this is ĵust the tip of the iceberg. This will be a good Winter project of sorting and refurbishing. Treasures galore!

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Good Evening Alex and Melissa and family 🙋🏽👍🏽. I can't wait to see what you have acquired this time. Season's Greetings to you from ME ‼️😃👍🏽.

[@jjandj7582]

We really enjoy your channel. Unpacking ones are our favorites. Hubs in into radios, really into radios. The static was from the lighting in your room. Also hubs says the Hallicrafter S-38 behind the little one you were tuning into could be worth about 150 if it is early (it will not a 38 A or B, just a S-38. ) Good Luck!

[@beverlyparrott3890]

Good score Alex! Those are some unique radios 📻 and those expensive 🚗 🚘 🚔 🏎 Cool finds so far❤😊 Can't wait till part 2

[@sandralovegrove2805]

What a haul! Love that turquoise small 📺 TV. Ask Melissa to show us more of her knitting 🧶? Enjoy the day 🇨🇦

[@realwildgoods]

That's hilarious that your radio seemed to carry on where it left off transmitting in World War II. A true step back in time!

[@fitzgeraldvankoesveld8674]

How is that even possible, any logical answer?

[@JohnKelm]

I winced as you plugged in and turned on those radios. Not a great thing to do without taking a look at the chassis for any visually apparent component damage and not controlling the AC line current as the unit warms up.

[@rod2623]

Thanks Alex, another great video. I think you should keep that radio you love, for now at least anyway!

[@barfass]

My first computer was the TRS-80. WOW.... does that bring back some memories.

[@sandramcd54]

I’ve been hanging out for one of these boxed clean outs……thanks for our early Chrissy Present….just love Curiosity Inc. 😊❤

[@susanhayirli8474]

Thank you for sharing your life with us I hope 2024 is your Best Year 🙏

[@NitrousDiecast]

No snow on the ground yet as of this videos publication, great weather year for Edmonton!

[@Bob_the_bottleman]

Loving every minute of it!!

[@mwyatt222]

Alex if you dont already know Deoxit contact cleaner is great for old radios and valve/tube sockets, potentiometers and such. Sometimes fixing them is as easy as simple spray to restore contact. Love the channel.

[@marciajohnson6767]

Great fun to see what you got! Thanks so much for sharing this 😊 ❤️ 😀

[@marybeth17]

Hi ALex & Melissa, wow you sure got you another get haul of fantastic items. As for as the June’s Journey game goes. That is my favorite type of game. I got hooked of them as a kid. The 1st time I can remember going to the eye doctors office with my older sisters. They are 6 & 8 yrs older than myself. I also had to get glasses by the time I was 6. Anyway they always had the book called Highlights. In that book there is always a page with hidden pictures. Growing up we didn’t have any money to get anything except necessities. So I loved having to go there. Just so that I could look for the pictures in that book. We are talking many moons ago, I was born in 1965. Anyway I loved hearing that you also enjoy those types of games. Have a wonderful day.

[@robynm6869]

My mom had an old table top radio that dated from the 1950s. It had the vacuum tubes that needed to warm up before the radio would work. Sadly, she threw it out when it stopped working. I sure wish I could get another one!

[@AsphaltMan11]

The slot cars really brought back the memories, my older brother had the larger cars that had the wire mesh on the slot doohickey, and about 10 miles of track, lol. (no really, I swear it was 10 miles of track).

[@reneesmawley3026]

Can't wait to see what is next..nice stuff so far

[@foureverfunky]

Happiness is: a new mini series from Alex!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

That makes me happy to hear!

[@tammycope3145]

Love these kind of videos! So much fun!

[@MoonRaven777]

It’s great to see the boys helping you,Alex..they are both really gorgeous young men and I can say that because I am a 67 years old Dutch grandmother of 4..😂 I love those old radios,so cool! I hope I’ll find one here in the Netherlands one day.🙏🏻🤞🏻

[@mimiprays8288]

The Zenith Short wave reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode..lol

[@kimfrommn7162]

Love it!!! Enjoying your finds!!! 🤗♥️👍🙏🏼

[@junkin]

rapala lures aren't anything special maybe $5 but the lucky luhrs go for 20-40.. i'd put yours at $50 almost really good color.

[@adriannecote5319]

I love June’s Journey. I play it all the time.

[@macorourke2222]

Always awesome Brother Alexander. Thanks again for the super video 😎👍♥️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️💯💯💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@toniasalways]

I really want one of those radios.

[@kbender3626]

Elbert Hubbard of East Aurora! I grew up in East Aurora, New York. I live in Budapest, Hungary now, but fun to see that on your video!

[@milliewilkie1969]

I can remember when cigarette cards, Royal Albert china and Royal Doulton figures were collectable now you cannot give them away

[@ruthkendall5486]

We bought our son the TRS 80 in early 1980s😀😀😀. It came with 64 bites that we later upgraded to 86 bites . That was the most memory it would hold😁😁. My husband wouldn’t let us get a printer because he couldn’t imagine what we would ever need one for. We eventually did get one. The paper came fan folded with holes on the outer edges so the printer teeth could feed it. I set up our budget on it - very tedious calculating I must say.

[@Radiowild]

I wished you lived closer to me. I could have helped you with your radio acquisitions. Been in the radio hobby for 50 years! RW

[@maggie2u135]

Don't know if you'll get much for those skates. The wheels have fallen off.

[@laraemitchell9064]

😂😂😂😂

[@GuyWithTheDogs]

😃 Box of assorted ice skates, current bid: $7.50

[@localsource3012]

I thought Alex pulled back on making videos!!?? I haven’t watched in a very long time since he made the announcement. Looking back it seems like the videos never stopped!What happened.

[@obieobrien5883]

I remember having to quick twist the volume knob in order to get rid of the static in the speakers

[@potsylvania]

Be careful with that that triple beam scale .. the way you are opening that big heavy toolbox on top of it could bend the mechanization and trash its ability to weigh accurately .. some potter mixing their own glazes , could be worth $100 US

[@JulieGraham-u7b]

My sons had lots of the MASK vehicles, they were extremely innovative.

[@mr_jake.y8348]

I like watching your Chanel. I was born and raised in Jacksonville Florida how do you live in that cold ❄ wather?

[@leifgustafsson5014]

With an old radio, you should get OLD radio shows 😀

[@Patricia-l9n]

I had an old radio from the 40-50s era at one time. I'd gotten it at the neighbors auction. I plugged it in fully expecting old time sounds. Imagine my disappointment when it was the radio station I could get on any old radio. I unplugged it and put it in a closet for many years. :>)

[@vickimaddox8711]

I agree. The radios are awesome.

[@Karmagirl29]

is that zenith radio a time machine? why is it picking up War World II broadcasts. not going to lie, that freaked me out a little.

[@gailmetz4878]

How do I contact you? I am interested in the Elbert Hubbard and East Aurora book!!!

[@scottstewart3884]

I just wish that I was able to make deals on some stuff before it hit the auction, as I've seen so much that I'd like, but I'm unable to bid on since I don't have any form of payment the Auction accepts.

[@keepclimbing2015]

That book about Elbert Hubbard is an artist from the area where I grew up! Very cool.

[@judithfairchild8620]

The tackle boxes and the old cathedral style radio brought back my childhood. Both were dad's we weren't allowed to touch either of them. But when the radio was on we all listened to it. Some reminders are good some not. That's life

[@emilyarchibald1900]

Wow, I had an Alphie Robot when I was a kid! ❤

[@olliejilliangil8382]

My brother and I had a TRS-80 and I always wanted an Alphie, too.

[@janreason1518]

My family had a Zenith radio similar to what you found. Ours was in a brown tweed hard case. So many memories.

[@junkin]

man those trs80 games all have steady comps raning from $15-30 shipped! nice lil score.. seems like a few can be i the 50-80 range

[@Mike-qt7xd]

I'd love to buy an electric race car/slot car set from you. Please get in touch with me.

[@giselawilliams1877]

Great treasures, love the AFX, my brothers use to play with those, and on occasion, my sisters and I🥰

[@lincolnlandpicker]

Do you check SOLD prices or listing prices on the slot cars ?

[@hsimpson6581]

The cool thing is you live in Canada where Mr. Carlson is from Mr. Carlson’s lab he’s a radio genius

[@leecarter9251]

why dont you have your boy hold the camera while you go thru the boxes or you scared to say anything?

[@berthagreen1620]

Yeah , you bought a house full. Can’t wait.

[@Dave_Boyer]

I’ll have to watch the auction, and see if there are any Baycrest radios.

[@georgegomez5767]

Want to ask but forgot. How long after you left Hawaii did it catch fire

[@lynnmiller605]

I had the zenith one , once to sell at an estate sale. The man had a huge room full of stuff all working. He communicated all over the world.

[@stacyola]

The radios would make a beautiful art installation .

[@joshr9417]

Everything Alex touches magically turns into a 100 year old antique, no matter what year its from.

[@TheMeloettaful]

Like the Midas Touch, but for antiques lol 😁💛.

[@madeleinegombert661]

Why did that radio pickup world war 2 broadcast? Your videos are fun to see what you find.

[@kenreighard5071]

Steve Jobs had nothing to do with the CoCo or it's games.

[@robichag]

Those TRS-80 games are very valuable !!! What a find

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

I was waiting for you to sing along with that karaoke radio.

[@leisahammonds4479]

Love the retro radios. You could turn your pool house living room into a vintage living room. ❤

[@raccoonlover9640]

[@Randy8923]

Enjoyed. Looks like a great haul.
