Hi Folks, there is a very active vintage radio scene in Oz. The HRSA (Historical Radio Soc of Australia) holds approx monthly meetings.
The most recent one in Melbourne was a talk on restoration techniques by one of the members. They seem spoilt for choice here as there are a huge selection of materials and equipment available at Bunnings, Mitre 10 and other craft shops/ DIY outlets. Far better than anything B&Q have to offer.
The lecture is usually associated with a mini action of members surplus kit, some good bargins to be had !
The 2 main native electronics magazines often have vintage radio articles as well as a range of want ads
