Description: Chris King's collection of wooden consoles, cathedrals, tombstones, table models, plastic and Canadian radios. Features a gallery of closeups of dials, including some that are lit.
I have collected radios since about 1984, but there has always been at least one of these in the house for as long as I can remember. Personally, I love the richness of the woods, the glow of the dials, and the rich sounds of the speakers. As I see it, these radios are one of the few things out there built specifically to be magical. Imagine what it must have been like: The family would gather around after dinner, dim the lights, flip the switch and watch this thing begin to glow and speak to them from faraway places. Nothing like it had ever really existed. It told them stories, it gave them news, it played music. TV, for whatever reason, never pulled off this sensation. Maybe it takes less imagination than radio, maybe it was just that in TV, the image is everything, so the packaging almost always left something to be desired. It's hard to say.
