Welcome to Dave’s Antique Radio & TV Restorations, where radio restorations start at just $49.99*. I restore Antique Radios, Antique Automotive Radios, Antique TVs, and Antique Musical Instrument Amplifiers (guitar amps). Generally speaking, I think of antique electronics as containing electron tubes, also known as valves. An antique type collectable is also defined as being over 25 years old. So an antique radio can contain transistors, which started to appear as early as 1954. Except for the picture tube, many tvs were fully transistorized by the early 1970s. Many people prefer the sound of tubes to transistors in an amplifier. They give a richer warmer sound. So tubes are still being used today in guitar and high end audio amplifiers.

There are indoor radios that operate on house current, or batteries, car radios, and sometimes radios that were called “Farm” radios, which were used in a barn and operated by large storage batteries, at 30 volts DC, as I recall. The farm had a generator. I don’t see these very much.
