The only vintage radio I have is a Hacker which resides in the shed. Haven't used it for years. Not overly keen on the content transmitted, though there are some gems still.
Mostly I collect stuff in the hope that in time I'll get a chance to figure it all out. A retirement plan.
Recently it's been meters. Started with Multifunction Testers (MFT) used by electricians to check circuits. These would be modern testers no more than 10 years old. Keeping with up-to-date regulations. Soon history crept in and the separation of functions. So MFTs became single function testers. Fluke being my target tester as I had used their products previously. Di-Log peaked my intrest being a UK manufacture (ummmm!). Ofcource Megger. That's when the AVO meters started pouring into my collection.
Old friends of mine and previous employment ment I had access more than use or understanding of AVOs (8) and now, after many years I have a vintage collection.
This collection of meters now joins my clock, camera and 8mm projector collections.
I guess I'll be busy when I retire!
