\"Max_Youle_Radio-Collection-New-Zealand\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Max Youle<\/a>, who writes:<\/p>\n

I thought I would send you a link to my radio collection.<\/p>\n

Many of these are unique to New Zealand, and could be of interest to your readers.<\/p>\n

I saved many of these radios from being trashed, by searching junk sales and second hand stores, over a period of the last 25 years<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow! That is an impressive collection of radios, Max. It’s interesting to see so many New Zealand brands–I’m glad you’ve rescued these!<\/p>\n

Max’s collection is so large I couldn’t possibly share them all here on the SWLing Post<\/em>, so I asked Max if he could tell us which models are his favorites. Max replied:<\/p>\n

My favorite radios would be:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Barlow<\/a>

Barlow Wadley XCR-30<\/p><\/div>\n

1.<\/strong> Barlow Wadley XCR-30<\/strong> featured here before http:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/maxs-barlow-wadley-receiver-is-a-keeper\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Philips<\/a>

Philips D2999<\/p><\/div>\n

2.<\/strong>\u00a0Philips D2999<\/strong> for its good looks, ease of use , sound from the two speakers 3″ and 7″ and sharp MW DX<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Sanyo<\/a>

Sanyo Transworld 17h-815<\/p><\/div>\n

3. Sanyo Transworld 17h-815<\/strong> A beautiful looking classic with lots of chrome and a good performer<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"National<\/a>

National Panasonic R-021<\/p><\/div>\n

4. National Panasonic R-021<\/strong> because it was my first radio, and a fairly rare collectible (article at the bottom of page) http:\/\/www.panasonic.com\/global\/corporate\/history\/chronicle\/1977.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Its hard to choose a favorite, as every one of my radios has a story ,i.e where I found it, who gave it to me, how much I paid for it, how collectible it is, etc, etc!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes indeed, Max! It is difficult to pick a favorite–especially from such a large collection.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for taking the time to share these with us!<\/p>\n
