If you happen to be in or near Asheville, North Carolina area this Saturday, I would encourage you to check out the Asheville Radio Museum’s Vintage Radio Market this weekend at AB Tech Community College.
Click here for full details and photos.
I’ve been a member of this wonderful museum for many years and volunteer for them as often as I can. We’ve just moved into a bigger area on the third floor of AB Tech’s Elm building and staff will be giving tours tomorrow morning as well.
In addition to the tailgate flea market, I helped prepare over 60 items that we’re selling in order to support the museum’s mission. We set the prices low so that we can clear our storage space for upcoming radio donations.
The SWLing Post has a very international readership, so I know only a small fraction of you may be able to check out the Vintage Radio Market, but since this museum is so near and dear to my heart, I just had to share details here! Thank for reading!
Cheers,
Thomas (K4SWL)
Thomas please let us know in advance about next year’s event, I’d love to attend and bid. What a gem of a museum, Asheville should count itself very lucky to have it there. Many communities like mine have nothing remotely resembling such a fantastic resource! Wow!!!
This is really cool! I had visited the Biltmore Estate in the mid 80’s, so I am somewhat familiar with North Carolina. Too bad you cant buy something from them online!
The VOA Museum on the north side of Cincinnati is a fantastic museum dedicated to the Crosley family & their inventions. I had no idea the museum had such a collection when I visited. Worth checking out if you’re in the area!
Been there! The tour guides are very knowledgeable and provide lots of information on the fascinating history of this site.
Is this an annual event? I can’t make it this year, too late, but maybe a future event.
It is indeed. We should host another one this time next year. I’ll try to give more advance warning! 🙂
A great reason to return to Asheville!! I’d love to attend this next year.
