Get a load of these radios! The Midwest radio Co. was a lesser quality radio but with a look that just says you can't afford me! Here is a link to an online museum of Midwest radios and I hope you like what you see. These are what I call true art deco radio design.

I have seen alot of radios over the last 10 years of collecting and if I had the cash, I would collect these! Is there any other radio collectors out there?


Enjoy!http://home.comcast.net/~midwestradiomuseum/index.htm

You really have to love that stuff. I know I do. There is a place back east that restores and sells the large radios and does great work. I've got a few smaller ones in the house, but it so classic looking, how can you not like them? Plus, the prices are not all that bad either. Especially if you don't mind doing a little of the restoration work yourself.

I agree! Who couldn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t like these radios? They had true design and craftsmanship. And, they were mass produced! The pride and quality that went into appliances and furniture in those times was truly remarkable. Tell me, what are some of the brand names of the radios you have in your collection??? I don?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t have any Midwest?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s but, some day I will.

Take care,
