I am just curious if anyone here uses antique radios to listen to their collection of OTR. I myself use a small am transmitter with my computer to listen to mine on my collection of radios or while I am out in the yard working.

Before I got my computer and was able to download all the radio shows, I had (and still have) a 1932 replica of the Crossley radio, tombstone model. Philco also put out the tombstone model, which was very popular. This radio is particularlly special since Crossley was a Cincinnati radio company, which owns WLW, and I live about 25 miles from thereThey used to sell them at Walmart around Christmas, but they were always a little expensive for me. A friend bought me one, the last one the store had, about 9 years ago. It is dark stained brown with a cassette deck on the side. If you were to turn the lights down and play a Inner Sanctum or Whistler show on it, you would not know the difference. My house is about 75 years old and in my kitchen, I have a cellar door that never gets completely closed. You can imagine the feelings I have while listening to my radio in semi-darkness. I have since donated my tapes to a senior nursing home, but I still have a few Bing Crosby Christmas tapes that I play ever year.
No, but I remember one station used to have a show on Saturday nights where they played hits from the 1960s and I always used to make a point of listening to it on my little transistor radio from that era...
Hi, I'd love to have an antique radio or replica of one to listen to OTR, but at the moment I don't. I listen to OTR on my laptop and I also have a Sansa Express mp3 player that I put shows on. Usually on Saturday nights a local university has an OTR show on, which I listen to. WECS 90.1 FM You can listen via the computer to that station. http://www.easternct.edu/depts/wecs/
