Here are some pictures from my collection of vintage wireless sets, amplifiers, loudspeakers, test equipment, valves (tubes) and other items of interest. If you left click on an image you will see a larger version of the picture and in some cases (those items with a red border) this is accompanied by additional information about the item. Eventually I hope to include additional information for all exhibits.
