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.

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!

[@arctiknitter]

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

[@547jallen]

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.

[@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

[@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!

[@sandralovegrove2805]

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

[@barfass]

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

[@kandiwolfe1125]

Those radios are really cool! Thanks for sharing this with us, Alex!! Peace to All.... 💜🩵💜

[@foureverfunky]

Happiness is: a new mini series from Alex!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

That makes me happy to hear!

[@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 ‼️😃👍🏽.

[@NitrousDiecast]

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

[@Bottlemanbob]

Loving every minute of it!!

[@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 📻😁?

[@TurkeyCreekGal]

You're now one of my top 4 favorites!

[@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

[@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.

[@sandramcd54]

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

[@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.🙏🏻🤞🏻

[@keepclimbing15]

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

[@ajwrites57]

Saving history, one box, at a time.

[@rod2623]

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

[@kimfrommn7162]

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

[@adriannecote5319]

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

[@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 😊 ❤️ 😀

[@susanhayirli8474]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@macorourke2222]

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

[@berthagreen1620]

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

[@BlazingSadles]

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

[@patrickprior4393]

Awesome again 🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@TheJuggalo1491]

I love what you do and how you do it { Wish I Could } But your are bringing history back to the masses.

[@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 .

[@alexhughes-db9bc]

I’d love to see the auctions !

[@vickimaddox8711]

I agree. The radios are awesome.

[@janreason1518]

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

[@phineas117]

very organized!! so you can sort, get stuff out for auction, and still have your garage!!! I imagine melissa is looking forward to the bird id books and knitting patterns.

[@reneesmawley3026]

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

[@maddieadams75]

Wow nice haul, thanks for sharing ❤❤

[@Randy8923]

Enjoyed. Looks like a great haul.

[@tammycope3145]

Love these kind of videos! So much fun!

[@catty2chatty]

Nice haul. Love watching the unboxing videos. Sometimes it brings back childhood memories and many times we learn about items or get history lessons.

[@sued616]

Love the old radio,s ,etc can look back in time

[@marthacueva8574]

Yay Jason!!

[@gioiacasterline4835]

Looks like fun

[@emilyarchibald1900]

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

[@nancycornett9949]

Thanks Alex!

[@giselawilliams1877]

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

[@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. :>)

[@camlawn]

best videos boxes full of random stuff my favorite

[@BenitaGrattan]

Very cool collection ❤❤❤

[@susanseifert925]

How fun! A wonder why you love your “job”!! you are fun employed!😁 Stay warm!

[@tzzz7]

You have a fortune in tubes! Cool haul!

[@robichag]

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

[@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

[@lisaKittylove2010]

Fun video, Alex.

[@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.

[@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!

[@Kimella777]

Nice ❤😊

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

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

[@maryjeannelson1334]

Let Melissa have the white ice skates. Buy some jingle bells and loop with lace near toe. Buy white or burgundy fuzzy socks. Insert the socks in the skates and fold the top of the socks over the top of the skates. Insert fresh greens/ berries inside the socks. This makes a great Xmas decoration. I hang mine over my porch light.

[@loridietrich2369]

Holy cow the radio works.

[@leifgustafsson5014]

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

[@wildkingdom2012]

what an interesting score. Lots of good old stuff.

[@toniasalways]

I really want one of those radios.

[@carolynstrecha2371]

Shakespeare from my hometown Kalamazoo ❤ knew one of the granddaughters. Love the old radio's WHT a great find!

[@olliejilliangil8382]

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

[@JulieGraham-u7b]

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

[@yanaalaska592]

My favorite videos from you!!

[@rosieintheposies3164]

Yay!🎉another video😊

[@The_Smith]

Yes got a good chuckle at the WW2 news on the TransOceanic!

[@William_Borgeson]

Great find, but you have to list that Transoceanic radio as a haunted radio, it's so beautiful. Geat video, great finds, take care and thanks!

[@aliensphyncter9528]

I would love the slot car tracks

[@matt.endlesscourage]

You got to keep one of the radios for the pool house... sunshine, swims, and the radio on...

[@beefviper]

Love the old computers and video games.

[@lindastent-campbell5130]

Oh my, the word Helicrafter took me zooming back to 1976. Met my first boyfriend through the CB radio.

[@GretchArmstrong]

This is where much of the auction lots are from!

[@hsimpson6581]

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

[@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).

[@markstevens1729]

I have a daughter I love dearly, but a couple of strapping teenage male children willing to help dad would be deeply appreciated…

[@soniak2865]

oh those radios 😍😍😍

[@michaelripley4528]

Can’t wait🥰

[@Tyblorg]

Congrats on the sponsor!!

[@Llamathellegend]

Never thought I'd see the game ads on your channel Alex!

[@Dave_Boyer]

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

[@arctiknitter]

Melissa, please show us the knitting patterns!

[@KAPTKipper]

I've got some bids in on this stuff

[@mimiprays8288]

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

[@poephila]

I feel like this is the first sponsored video on this channel? Congratulations!!

[@obieobrien5883]

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

[@MargieBenson-dv9ek]

❤

[@FernandoFerreira-iv6ew]

My brother is currently on vacation and staying at my parents' house and decided to take his old vic 20 and commodore 64 computers to the Netherlands where he lives because now they are considered collectables. He got them new almost 4 decades ago and over the years he wanted to throw them out but never did and now they might be worth a few bucks.

[@mavahuth5044]

I'm always glad to see you , even when you do car shows. Which I am not into.😊

[@RoadVirus9999]

I still have one of the mask vehicles on my bookshelf in my office.

[@roywills5387]

Wowser! That would not have fit in the ambulance!

[@craigwalker4211]

Can't be many people nowadays who want to paint an Italian school, especially in Canada.

[@PatKunkle]

The avacado radio needs the be in the motorhome.

[@defaultuser1447]

You mean the RV? That was sold a while back.
