WHICH 690 IS BEST BET?
#21

Sam;
I would slow down and take a breather from buying for a while. Many new collectors seem to catch "Radio Fever" and buy up nearly everything and anything that comes along, or they start buying stuff that they think other people want them to buy. You should try to specialize in one brand, era, or one type of set otherwise you will end up with a house full of stuff that may become a burden later. This is especially true if you can't restore your own sets. I'm not trying to discourage you but I have bought many a set from collectors that went on a buying spree only to lose interest a few years later, the last guy didn't even know what a tube was and he had almost a dozen sets of various makes, models, and conditions.
Regards
Arran
