Leonard Martin writes: A big question looms: Most boatanchors are the past "wish" radios of people now in their 60s - 80s. Those people are often sitting on a lifetime of savings and know they will soon be leaving this earth. If they are ever to have the super radio of their teen years they must buy it now, no matter what the price! I'm sure that's true in many cases. But I know of more than a few BA folks who are young enough that BAs were old when they were in their teens, yet they are avid collectors/users/restorers. Unlike catalin radios, boatanchors are seldom pretty. I disagree! Most of them are incredibly beautiful! I wonder if boatanchors will still be appreciated--and valued--once the old guys who learned to appreciate them as youths are gone? Some will appreciate them, but probably not to the extent that people will pay big bucks for them. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
