Collective
Intelligence: Antique Radios
A television program
about collecting antique radios. Much of the program was shot at our
2006 Spring Swapmeet in Parsippany, NJ and several of our members are
featured. While a few small factual errors and a couple of questionable
opinions sneaked into the program, on the whole it painted a very nice
picture of the antique radio collecting hobby.
