Roll Call: Collectors

[RnR]

Hey guys,

Obviously a lot of people here collect audio equip, but I was wondering if there was anything else you are into and or collect?

I collect vintage heavyweight cruiser bicycles, pocket knives/stilettos/staight razors, shoes, sunglasses, records/cassettes/cd's.  I guess thats about it.  A few other odds and ends. 

I am not a homeowner, but I also have an interest in mid century and other obscure furniture.

If there are any other collectors out there (I know there are), what are you into?

I tend to move from one collection to the next...

For a number of years I was really into firearms and had a serious arsenal, but liquidated most stock.  I still like buying and selling guitars, guitar equipment and the like, but have done more selling than buying lately.  I tend to not want to give into my hoarding tendancies, until the new 'ove affair' begins.  I'm stqarting to have more audio equipment than I expect to use at any given time...  If nothing else, one collecting spree generally funds the next.

Well as most of you know Anders collects antique radios & TVs.  He just restored a TV from 1946 he's been working on for quite some time.  Pictures of some of his collection are in the media section.

We also have a collection of vintage computers, most work, and recently Anders has been busy with some older macs.

I don't collect much these days other than computer parts and yarn.  If you ever find yarn being given away..send it here!

Forgot to mention:

If I had the space and money, I'd collect Danish Modern mid century furniture.  Love that stuff!

[MacGeek]

Toy trains-mostly Lionel Post War vintage.  If I had room, I'd collect boats.  As it is, I rather tend to swap them.

Bunni, I also like mid century Danish modern furniture, but again lack space.
