Antique radio swap meet, August 17th

The Antique Radio Swap Meet is coming on August 17th to the Shoreline Museum parking lot – it's the largest vintage radio event in the Northwest! From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. that Sunday, you can come and look at some fascinating old tech, from old tube radios and other devices like the tube tester shown above, to ham radio gear, to Art Deco designed plastic and novelty radios.

Admission is free to the public; anyone is welcome to come and buy, sell or trade. Head on down and take a look at the precursors to your FM radio and iPod!

Antique radios on display in Shoreline

There's a room at the Shoreline Historical Museum filled with antique radios and memorabilia, thanks to the Puget Sound Antique Radio Association. There's also one of those big old floor-model radios playing War of the Worlds (at least, that's what it was playing last weekend when I went there).

These three photos show just a little bit of what's on display. There's quite a bit more to see. It's pretty cool exhibit, if you find that sort of thing interesting. And hey, it's free!

More info about the exhibit at the Shoreline Historical Museum website.
