I have been collecting Australian Valve Radios for about 2 years and now have 4 radios (hopefully more soon). I find bakelite radios from the Art Deco era fantastic. The superb lines and that warm valve sound symbolise a simpler time. In the future I'd like to add some more colourful Astor radios to my collection and maybe another AWA.
