Welcome aboard, Randy, we are happy you found our little group and what we really appreciate is that you followed the "RULES" which if important if you wanted to actually become a member. Like all forums, and other internet stuff, we get spambots so following the rules, completing what is requested, helps us to know who is a real person and not a spambot.

Again, welcome, post often, we love photos, and I think you will find a good group here willing to help and answer questions.

For my curiosity, please tell me/us more about the Ashville Radio Museum.

Welcome aboard, Randy! Bill welcomed you better than I could, so what he said goes for me as well.... ;)

I am going to move your topic about your Motorola stereo to the Motorola board. People will be more apt to see it there. I look forward to you sharing your projects with the forum..... :D

Just looked at your radio museum site. Looks interesting. It is a bit sobering to see a few items that I remember being new.

I'll give a link to the Music House Museum in Acme (just N of Traverse City, MI). They began wit mechanical music devices and expanded. They have a 1924 Wurlitzer theater organ and a 1922 Mortier dance hall mechanical organ, their largest pieces, but also electronica. I donated a Lincoln recrd-flipping changer.
