Giving a Voice to Forgotten Radios
Vintage radio repairman Allen Chiang appreciates the sound and design of long-forgotten radios. Models dating back to the pre-TV era when families gathered ’round the “talking box” to listen to the news and iconic serials like The Shadow or Buck Rogers. Sixties-era radios that conjure images of The Jetsons and a quaint vision of the future.
“Every radio definitely has its own personality,” said Chiang, who collects and restores old radios back to working condition. “It started off as a hobby and now it’s become a little bit more than that. Sometimes I work on these radios for hours and hours and hours and just when I think I’m about to give up something clicks in my mind and it works.”
