The Puget Sound Antique Radio Association will hold its 21st annual swap meet from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 17, in the Shoreline Museum parking lot, located at N. 175th and Linden Ave. N., just west of Aurora Ave.
This community event, the largest of its kind in the Northwest, attracts collectors from California to Canada. Vintage tube and transistor radios, novelty sets, deco plastics, televisions and ham gear, along with test equipment, parts and tubes will be offered for sale. Information on radio restoration and repair services will also be available to aid collectors in returning their old sets to their original condition.
The public is encouraged to bring old radios of their own that they wish to sell. Sellers can tailgate or bring their own table.
A large exhibit of antique radios and related items will be on display in the museum during the swap meet. This collection has been assembled and maintained by The Puget Sound Antique Radio Association, a non-profit group dedicated to the appreciation and preservation of these home entertainment centers of yesteryear. Membership information will also be available at the swap meet.
Admission is free to both the swap meet and museum. Free parking is also available. For more information, call Pete Peterson at 425-747-1323 or Bob Phelps at 206-546-5495.
