Victor Jaeggle loved radios.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a big, shortwave radio he kept by his bedside,\u201d said his daughter, Susan. \u201cThis thing would buzz all night. He\u2019d have headphones on, listening to San Francisco, the British news. He was just a radio junkie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jaeggle wasn\u2019t just a radio listener, he was a radio collector. He bought his first cabinet radio from an auction as a pre-teen, and over the decades amassed a huge collection.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe spent many hours torturing his family with the screeches, whines and whistles of accurate restoration in an ever-shrinking house full of radios,\u201d Susan recounts, with a laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201c(The basement) was chock-a-block with radios,\u201d said his ex-wife, Anne. \u201cYou kind of wandered down this narrow pathway to get from the bottom of the stairs to the laundry room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jaeggle died on Dec. 8, 2014, at age 72. Almost three years later, his family has put his radios and gramophones up for sale Oct. 28 at Able Auctions in Abbotsford.<\/p>\n

Sam Garandza of Able has never sold anything quite like it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the biggest collection I\u2019ve ever sold,\u201d said Garandza. \u201cI think I had 70 radios in one consignment, but this has to be 400 or 500 radios. (There are so many) we are selling some in group lots, so we might end up with 200 to 250 lots.\u201d[…]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many thanks for the tip, William! Thankfully, I live too far away from this auction to attend, else I’d be tempted by these beauties!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
