Anyone on here collect old radios? Then this is well worth listening to.

BBC said:
"Guru, boffin, eccentric and genius, Gerry Wells is obsessed with radio - tinkering with, building and repairing them. It is a fixation that has got him into trouble with the law, but ultimately radio has been his saviour."
...lives among 1200 radios in Britain's 'living' radio museum, and hosts regular talks and workshops for devotees.
I remember this chap from an old episode of "The Secret Life of Machines" back in the mid 90s. This chap has been fiddling with radios since the age of about two.
