When can a radio be called "vintage"?
 

Hi,

What is the usual definition of a "vintage radio"? I believe it's 30 years
or older. Am I right?
Thanks in advance for point of views on this.

On Ebay, a thing is "Vintage" as soon as you get it home. Witness the
Chinese plastic radios that are "RARE VINTAGE JUST LIKE COLLINS" and
the like.

Vintage is a meaningless term unless you're talking about wine and then
it's price..
Radios don't get better as they age!

In wine, "vintage" refers only to the year in which it was bottled, as
in "vintage 2008."

Few things do, but people like to collect old things nonetheless.

I would classify a radio as "VINTAGE" if it only has tubes or discrete
transistors.

Vintage mean obsolete. Or rubbish. Mostly highly overrated.

There is no agreed (or meaningful) definition for "vintage" in a radio
context.

The more vintage wine you drink the clearer the definition will become.

And, sometimes, too much to drink is not enough.
