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!
-
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.
