As a fairly recent radio collector, this show also makes me nostalgic about 1980s video technology! I can just see the Sony 3/4" U-Matic decks used in editing it. Oh, and having to go to the library and pull Rider manuals from the stacks... We who got into this hobby in the Internet age are truly spoiled! I'm a late comer but a boomer who remembers still being taught tube radio theory in high school in the 1970s!

I am LOVING this program!!! I am a collector of vintage tape recorders mainly, especially portable reel-to-reels.

Like Stewart, I think it was, said that most of the fun for the collector is to just sit back and look at the collection and enjoy it, not necessarily put everything to use. I felt the same way when he said that.
