Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Jason Walker, who writes:<\/p>\n

Dear Thomas,<\/p>\n

I noticed a New Zealand news article that may be of interest to SWLing Post readers.<\/p>\n

Approximately 400 vintage radios are to be auctioned in Nelson, New Zealand. Whilst I use more modern Tecsun radios, the article will be of interest for vintage collectors. Many of the Radios are New Zealand made and rare.<\/p>\n

Links below include a video and news article.<\/p>\n

Radio and Collectables Auction
\n17 Hereford Street (off Songer St)
\nStoke, Nelson
\nSaturday 10 April, 2021<\/p>\n

AUCTION STARTS AT 11am
\nViewing from 9am day of auction
\nand, Friday 11am – 3pm<\/p>\n

More information: https:\/\/jwauctions.co.nz\/upcomingauctions.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you, Jason. Even though this auction has been widely publicized in New Zealand, the collection is so massive, I imagine bidders will be walking away with some excellent bargains. If I lived in NZ, I would certainly be a part of the bidding. I’d love to have an NZ-made receiver.<\/p>\n

I really like the following quote from the Stuff.co.nz article:<\/p>\n

The widower of the man who stockpiled the radios told Walker her husband had collected the stash from all over the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHis wife was a wee bit disappointed she didn\u2019t know he had half the radios because he used to keep hiding them.[“]<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How many of us can relate to that last statement? Let’s face it: par for course, right!? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
